Quinpool Road in Halifax reminds me of a neighbourhood commercial strip in Ontario, like some of the "avenues" in the outer parts of inner-city Toronto. It has a lot of old houses that have been converted to commercial units, which is something you see in parts of Toronto too.

I thought this scene was interesting even though it doesn't resemble anything as a whole. On the left is a circa 1920 English garden suburb development, similar to Hampstead Garden Suburb in the London area. British planners contributed to the design of this area that was redeveloped after the Halifax Explosion in 1917.
