Early evening scene in a cozy City, facing a traffic intersection on a broad avenue with tightly-packed buildings; directly across the street, there used to be many historic hundred year-old six-story brick buildings; all but one have been torn down to make way for a high-rise condominium complex, in which no one can afford to live; however, one of those old buildings remains - the owners will not sell out; this building, still in great condition, has a few graffiti throws on its walls but is generally clean; there is a green, plywood construction fence around the adjacent empty lot, which has been plastered with advertisements; some bare winter trees and scattered piles of stubborn snow line the streets, as buildings start turning on their lights; every neighborhood in this part of town has its own little skyline, together forming a part of the larger skyline of the City; above and in the distance, the clear blue sky has started to fade.
