About Kenmore Square

Kenmore Square in Boston, Massachusetts near Fenway Park, is not so much a square as a confusing collision of several main avenues, (including Beacon Street and Commonwealth Avenue,) a few cross streets, and a T stop, (Kenmore Station.) There you will find Boston University's bookstore, a large Barnes and Noble, upon which sits Boston's famous Citgo Sign.

There is no associated Citgo gas station -- the sign is now a historical landmark, visible over the left field wall of Fenway Park during most televised Boston Red Sox games. In 2005, during a major renovation, the neon lights of the Citgo sign were removed and replaced with a Light-emitting diode display.

Kenmore Square abuts Boston University, and is synonymous with Landsdowne Street, Boston's infamous nightlife center.
