Those of us of a certain age will remember the song "Downtown" by Petula Clark.
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everything's waiting for you
There's lots more to the song ... but you get the drift.
For my get-pushed challenge to take an urban shot.

We are having such strange weather that some people are still in winter jackets and others are in T-shirts.

@susale I would like to do your second one - use shadows in a creative way. We are supposed to have a good week with sunshine here so that should work.
Can I add to it? I enjoy b&w but find that I am weak in it, can I make it b&w only?

This is Cornwall in eastern Ontario. It's a small city on the St. Lawrence River that has had a lot of industries leave it recently.
