Historic Bazaar Road in Mylapore Balances Tradition and Change Amid Metro Construction
Bazaar Road in Mylapore hosts longstanding businesses that blend tradition with modernity. The Crown Bakery, established in 1905, remains family-run, with younger generations introducing new items like ice cream cakes alongside classic offerings. Meanwhile, ongoing Metro Rail construction has diverted traffic, reducing footfall on Bazaar Road and impacting shopping patterns. Despite challenges, several shops, including a 70-year-old mill and a 90-year-old herbal store, maintain strong community ties, preserving the area's historic retail character.
