Quinpool Cruise 5 of 7

Quinpool Road's Show and Shine July 19th, 2009

For the past eight years, Michael Chambers, owner of Nautilus Aquatics and Hobbies, in association with the Quinpool Road Mainstreet District Association, has been delighting spectators with the beauty and splendour of antique cars of a bygone era. This year, in addition to featuring the best that automotive history has to offer, the Show and Shine, which takes place Sunday July 19th, will showcase "the best of the future" for the automotive and transportation industry.

The Quinpool Road Mainstreet District Association is working closely with CrestHalifax.org on the event. Crest Halifax believes any new transportation development must be based on environmental, social and economic principles. Together, The Association and CrestHalifax.org have selected companies and organizations, that are working towards "greening" the automotive and transportation industries.

"We are extremely excited to have a number of car companies and organizations such as Halifax Harbour Bridges, Drive Wiser, Car Share, Metro Transit and CrestHalifax.org taking part to help us promote green transportation choices to an already engaged audience", says Karla Nicholson, General Manager of the Quinpool Road Mainstreet District Association.

These and many other organizations have been invited, free of charge, to educate and inspire the thousands of spectators who will line the street during the Show and Shine. "It is a great opportunity for us all to learn about the green products and services available in the transportation industry right here in HRM", adds Nicholson.

The Zephyr Rug and Home parking lot has been chosen for this showcase and has been dedicated as the "Green Zone." It is located between Zephyr Rug and Home and Carlito's Coffee Shop. It is across from the TD bank on the corner of Monestary Lane and Quinpool Road.
