If you haven’t been over to Atherton Mill lately, be prepared for a pleasant surprise the next time you drop by one of your old standbys such as Living Kitchen or Free People. You will barely recognize the new section that holds Barry’s Boot Camp, Dry Bar, Madewell, West Elm, Lululemon and so on.

There is now a complete, walkable, shoppable, go-ahead-and-take-my-money section of sidewalk that begins at Big Ben Pub and winds you all the way to Publix before you know what happened. But even in the section of Atherton you thought you knew like the back of your hand — from years of visiting the market or Not Just Coffee — will surprise you.
