Quinpool district
Encyclopedia : Q : QU : QUI : Quinpool district
The Quinpool district usually refers to the commercial section of Quinpool Road in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as well as a few streets to the north and south of it. A fairly eclectic variety of local businesses populate the street, including some of the city's best Chinese and Greek restaurants. The art-deco Oxford Theatre, playing mostly independent and underground films, can also be found on this street. The street terminates at the "Willow Tree", an awkward five-way intersection named for the prominent tree that once grew in the median.
While the street is an important commercial district in Halifax, it also forms an unfortunate barrier between the city's North End and South End, both physically and socially. The area is also home to two rival high schools, St. Patrick's High School and Queen Elizabeth High School.
