Anchoring the city's Northern corridor, Bear Corner sits blocks away from the park, multiple theaters, and restaurants. Along the building's North side is a large sidewalk area, with many benches to sit and enjoy the sounds of the city or converse with neighbors.

This site isn't just famous for Bear Corner. Sixty-one years earlier, it was host to the first college baseball game between Williams college and Amherst college. A stone marker commemorating this event sits in the grass right next to the building.
