A lovely painted sign in Portland, Oregon. The older vehicles parked out front add to the old-time feel, too. Snapped this in March 2015.

An oldie for y’all today: People enjoying the ice rink at Nathan Phillips Square outside Toronto City Hall. Snapped this on a nighttime stroll about a decade ago.

Dresden’s cathedral was wrecked during the Second World War and remained a pile of ruin for decades. It re-opened to the public in 2005 after years of painstaking restoration. Here’s the scene outside the landmark in September 2016, its adjacent public square buzzing with activity.

The marquee of an abandoned movie theatre in Berlin, Germany, hides an appropriate former name for the place, which Google tells me means “Do not play”. The last time I was there, in September 2015, the building was in a state of disrepair and was covered with all sorts of art.
