Location of co-op “three subway stops distant from B.U.” into which Orin initally moves with Joelle • location of M.I.T. student union and Hayden library at M.I.T., where Himself’s Kinds of Light played.
Also appears as a joint setting for Molly Notkin’s apartment, one inherited from Joelle and Orin—perhaps the same one, perhaps not—referred to confusingly as “East Cambridge fringes of the Back Bay” • also the true location for the Mayflower Poultry Company, though its location is given in the story as Inman Square.
