Shirley Avenue Commercial District

The Shirley Avenue Commercial District, a naturally occurring cultural district, extends west from the Revere Beach MBTA station and represents an active, ethnically diverse commercial corridor next to Revere’s oceanfront. The area features delicious food from around the world and the neighborhood is also home to an important if unassuming cultural hub for the region’s Cambodian and Buddhist population. Wat Ratanarangsey on Thornton Street has long served local residents and members of the Cambodian diaspora in Massachusetts and surrounding states.
