HALIFAX Change is in the air and on the ground on one of Halifax’s most recognizable streets. Quinpool Road was once home to landmarks like the Oxford Theatre and Ben’s Bakery. While those landmarks are gone, the Quinpool area has become a hotbed of development. But construction of new buildings has also brought out critics. Dimitri Christeas’ family-run shoe repair business has been on Quinpool Road since the 1950’s. Christeas says the streetscape has changed a lot since then, and construction continues to ramp up. “I mean it’s good. Some of the buildings were run down, it’s nice to have a facelift,” says Christeas.
