Formerly a very industrial area, the neighborhood maintains a certain grit with repurposed and renovated warehouses, now home to breweries, cideries, restaurants, and cafes. The annual CRUSH street at festival brings new murals from artists, lending true character and creativity to the otherwise mundane walls.
