	Porter Square - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Porter Square is a neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts in the USA, located around the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Somerville Avenue, between Harvard and Davis Squares.
		Porter Square was named for the now-vanished Porter House Hotel, operated by Zachariah B. Porter, who also left his name to the hotel's specialty, the cut of steak now known as the porterhouse.
		The square was an important center for commerce and light industry as early as the late 18th century, though it began a period of gradual decline during the Great Depression as residents began moving to more rural areas.

	Gordon: Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
		Ave and JFK Street, in the middle of Harvard Square, a sign boldly declares: "Frank Cardullo Square." If you look harder, you'll discover no official city sign at all declaring your presence in Harvard Square, unless you count the T entrance sign or the one over the door of Out-of-Town News.
		between Porter Square (again, no sign except the T entrance) and the Arlington border, the city has erected no fewer than 16 signs proclaiming "Squares" on 16 different corners.
		For example, the Cardullo Square sign might be replaced by a sign declaring "Welcome to Harvard Square: Porter Square 1 mile north; Inman Square 1 mile east; Central Square 1 mile southeast; Charles River 1/4 mile south." Sixteen such signs around the city would make Cambridge a much easier place for newcomers to navigate.
