Packard's Corner

Packard's Corner

Packard's Corner is located in Boston, Massachusetts at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Brighton Avenue. Packard's Corner is also the name of a stop on the B Branch of the MBTA's Green Line, a light rail line that runs mostly above ground. According to the [http://www.bahistory.org/PackCornHist.html Brighton-Allston Historical Society] , the name comes from Packard's Sales Stable and Riding School which existed in the area from 1885 through 1920, and was perpetuated by the Packard automobile dealership that was built in 1910.

Packard's Corner is close to Boston University, Boston College and Harvard University making it, and neighboring Allston, very popular with college students.
