It's just about 1pm on a Sunday. The UPS store is closed. The 24hr store has no copier. Is there some place in the square where I can get a dozen copies made now?

Update:
Both photo places on Elm: closed
Print shop next to Starbucks: closed
Comic store: open, but no copier
Brooks: open, copier absent

Update 2:
Thanks everybody for all the help! Apparently the answer is, "You post by wireless device to [livejournal.com profile] davis_square and a friend helps you out" -- thanks so much to [livejournal.com profile] chenoameg and to [livejournal.com profile] ron_newman. If you haven't the benefit of friends with home offices in Davis Square, until Brooks gets the new copier in, you're just screwed.

The reason, by the way, I was asking after photocopiers in Davis Square was because I couldn't wander far: I was trying to coordinate with a friend who was delayed in transit, was unreachable by cell, and whose ETA I didn't have, and I was under an ever tightening deadline that prohibited travel what with the delay of meeting my friend. I can assure you that, yes, the Kinkos in Harvard Square is open 24/7; it's not as cheap, last I checked, as the Alewife Staples (there is also a perfectly good Staples in Harvard Sq. which is much more convenient to the T).

Doesn't the Brooks have a copying machine?

If not, you best bet is the Kinko's in Harvard Square.

If the Brooks doesn't work, call or IM [livejournal.com profile] joshwriting (or some other friend we have in common, because we have several) and ask him for my address and/or phone number and you're welcome to come over here and make the photocopies.

Unfortunately I won't get to meet you, but you'll at least find out where I live :-) (My husband is home, so will be able to let you in.)

(Hi! I'm Meg. I've helped Josh with BIQ in the past, and know a bunch of people you know, all of whom will tell you that I'm the sort of person who makes offers like this because I'm like that, not because I'm creepy.)

I'll vouch for Meg being one of the good guys.

I thought Store 24 had a copier? Maybe not anymore?

If you still need the copies, let me know. I'll be up for at least another half hour.

(There are two photo places on Elm? I only know about Cameras Inc.)

Last I knew, the Kinko's in Harvard Square was 24/7.

I think the Star Market in Porter Sq has one, I seem to recall making copies there a couple of years ago...though the copier could easily be gone now.

And if the Stah Mahkit doesn't have one, I'm willing to bet the CVS next door does.

the convenience store at Mass Ave and Upland Rd has a copier.
the store that use to be a White Hen Pantry, across from the Porter Square Subway:

1864 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge, MA
(617) 547-7255

the similar store that use to be a White Hen Pantry up Mass Ave a bit beyond Davis Square might have one:

2245 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge, MA
(617) 661-1091

let us know what you find out!

I read this earlier in the day and couldn't think of anything to add, but just now it hit me - Staples in the strip mall at Alewife should be able to make copies for you (I hope). It's at the end of the mall next to the movie theater - from the Alewife T stop, walk over the bridge and roll down the hill, and it's right there. If people were nice enough, there should be one or two staples carts at the bottom of the hill to break your fall. :)

Various people have been trying for years to have a staircase constructed from that overpass to the movie theater end of the Fresh Pond Mall parking lot. It would make things much easier for people walking from the Alewife station.
