Oh jeez, I can't remember all the names. Uh, the poetry bookstore Grolier's? The sandwich place with the green sawdust on the floor where you could get a Turkey Delight? It was a woman's name. Emack and Bolio's? What was that rep cinema...University Theater? The one where they always had an old James Bond double feature on every schedule.
I think Grollier's is still there and also E&B's. The theater sounds like how the Harvard Square Theater used to be, which is now more of a first run mainstream art cinema (that is, they get the artier end of the mainstream movies) but part of the Loew's chain. Don't know the sandwich place from the description, but The Tasty is long gone. Ditto the Wurst House and WordsWorth.
Oops, I guess I was wrong about Grollier's and Emack's.

Sorry, I'm a dumbass. will stop talking now.
is that the milkshake and burger place?
(I know I said I would shut it, but I have decided to google before speaking from now on)
Bartley's?
Yep, that's there. I think the locals would riot if they ever tried to turn that into something else (though I've never thought they were especially great burgers myself, so I don't get the fanatic love - good onion rings though).
I did here one bit of good-ish news, though it's slightly outside of the square proper. Supposedly The Plough & The Stars is going to re-open next year.
I never had burgers there--chili and a dee-lish chocolate shake.
I've never been to Boston, I'm quite excited. I plan to arrive thursday evening as well, hang with with my friends. Friday, I'll meet up with Deb at some point, go to the signing. Saturday I'll hang out with my friends, I'm not sure what I'm doing in the evening, my friends have tickets to a concert, but i may end up hanging out with another Boston friend. Sunday, brunch and tree trimming with Sandra, then home.

If you mean the Brattle, it may close at the end of the year, unless they get some Sugar Daddy action. [link]
