There’s something I just love about big cities that have little pockets where the bones are exposed a bit more.

    I find it cool to see a street which isn’t lined with parking cars. It’s a rare sight here and always feels rather depressing, because I don’t even know where kinds could play ball around here…

      It’s a sort of “hunch up your shoulders and pull in your coat so you don’t touch the walls” kind of smell.

    I love walking through the alleyways (during the day) in cities. It reminds me of in the service or entertainment industries where you have “front of the house” - the nice part that customers see - and the “back of the house” - the functional area that only staff see. The alleyways feel like the back of the house - less cosmetic, more revealing of their history. I agree it’s neat :)

    Got to Fan Tan Alley in Victotia BC. It is a neat experience.

    Looks nice to me, except that the street pavement visibly needs some work. Is it a view of the back of some (possibly mixed-use) walk-ups with some form of business in the foreground, or is it something else?

        Ah, thanks. The ladders look to me like classic fire escapes to the kind of old walk-up apartments that (when well-maintained) typically have nice character, with steam radiators for heat and hardwood floors… but I obviously haven’t been there so I wouldn’t know.
