Harvoid Square

The intersection of JFK and Brattle streets stands eerily void of traffic on Friday afternoon, following the area-wide Police urgings for citizens to stay indoors. Harvard University was closed this morning due to the manhunt for the Boston Marathon suspect, the third time this academic year that the university has officially closed its doors.

Empty Streets

Normally full of tourists and pedestrians, the area around MBTA Harvard Station and Out of Town News is completely vacant on Friday afternoon during what is normally rush hour. Regional police departments urged residents of the Boston area to stay indoors during this emergency.
