The Village Vibe Six hand-painted pollinator barrels brightened up Gainsborough Road this summer and fall. Each barrel was uniquely painted by a local organization and planted with pollinator-friendly flowers, thanks to support from TD Friends of the Environment and the Hyde Park Business Improvement Association.

This 1933 Ford 5 Window Coupe was Perry Tremblay’s first car, purchased when he was 15 years old. He has now owned it for 52 years. Pictured at the Hyde Park Lions Country Cruizin’ event (left), it’s the third incarnation of the car. Perry rebuilt the car for the drag strip, eventually retiring it from racing and converting it into a street car. Learn more about Country Cruzin’ at countrycruizin.com. Photo courtesy of John New.
