Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne & Wear, England, UK.

A street scene in Newcastle's Quayside featuring the massive stone arches of a high-level railway viaduct towering over the roadway on the left. Through the largest arch, modern brick apartment buildings with balconies can be seen in the distance against a pale sky. To the right stands a traditional, multi-storey red brick pub named "The Dubliner", its facade brightly decorated with colourful hanging flower baskets and cascading strings of fairy lights above a dark green ground floor. Below, a road with pedestrian crossings, green traffic lights, and tall black lampposts runs beneath the viaduct. A few pedestrians stroll along the pavements, while a bright green car on the lower left and a beige SUV on the lower right navigate the street near a row of commercial wheelie bins nestled against the viaduct's imposing stone pillar.

I don’t disagree (I’m an Englishman who lives in NYC), but… Chicago, Philly and Boston have similar architecture

    Very true, but I never lived in either of those cities, lol

    And a lot of the older architecture in Philadelphia is rather elitist compared to the older architecture and both New York City and Boston, which is much more civil and populist. probably because of how much bigger both New York City and Boston were at the time compared to Philadelphia. Unless you want to compare the sewer systems, all of which were pretty awesome. Consider considering the periods.

    Not so much today
