South End light-rail brought the breweries joke

Atherton Mill & Market in the South End neighborhood sits adjacent to the LYNX Blue Line light-rail and houses shops, restaurants, and offices in a historic mill complex. Since the Blue Line extension, locals commonly joke that the light rail 'brought the breweries' as South End developed into a dense corridor of craft breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants. Atherton Mill is a commonly cited specific destination in that local joke about transit-driven neighborhood change.
