In Cambridge, on the edge of Harvard Square is a yellow arrow sticker that is attached to a pole. This arrow is partially obscured by another sticker, and because of this, the sticker id cannot be read. The sticker is about 7 feet from the ground and is on the south side of the pole. At the corner is the well known Harvard Book Store.
On the web site (now on flicker) the text for this yellow arrow is as follows:
"the oldest poetry bookstore in the united states, sadly only open a few shifting hours a week, try some friederike mayröcker"
The poster is sixten.
The store that the text is refering to is the Grolier Poetry Book Shop, Inc. at 6 Plympton Street. The hours are generally Tuesday-Saturday from 11 am - 6 pm.
