Here is a picture of the Duquesne Incline in Pittsburgh.
It's a trolly car that takes you up to the top of the hill.

We love Pittsburgh. Have gone up the Duquesne, walked to the Mon to go back down. Found a street fair in between, like a little neighborhood party with cheap pizza and beer. Great place to see a baseball game, lots of museums and great food. I wish my son had decided to go to Duquesne, then we'd have an excuse to visit more often.
I don't like using a pic I've used before in the game, but I'm not likely to get out on a bike before Friday. So here's an oldie.

My dad is from Johnstown PA and my Mom near Pittsburg, so I was exposed to "inclines".
THe regular riders can watch the vistors to see how much they jump when the car going the other way passes by har har har

Our little Downtown here. . . . . . .
here is one side of one blocks of the 2 1/2 blocks of downtown here..... the most colorfull anyway......
I dont recall how I caught the street so empty, not a lot of cars parked. I think maybe early morning, and no coffee shop in this part of that block.
Some of downtown is from late 1800s, most is from early 1900s, most all fairly good appearance. Some, if look closely, can see some deterioration.
From time to time, I like to walk around downtown and look at some of the details of the brickwork.
I have come to understand that are reasons why the town and downtown here is as nice as it is, in addition to being something of tourist town on Lk Michigan:
- none of downtown streets are state highways, so not heavy traffic.
- most all the town residentail areas are zoned single family (which has become a somewhat contrversail issue in recent years).
- much of old industrial area converted to residentail condos etcetera

I didn't post a pic for 'hibernation' as it's something we don't really do in the South Pacific. But here's my entry for 'Downtown'

Burque73 gets my vote. There's just something about all the converging lines in the pic. Reminds me of learning how to draw in single-point perspective.
For the record, my pic was of downtown Lewisburg, PA. The Campus Theatre is owned by Bucknell Univ.Rich

There is no poll. Just edit your post and write: I vote for [insert full username here].
Pro-tip - Making the username bold helps whoever does the tally tomorrow.Rich

Downtown where the lights are bright: Rich
this is as close to downtown as I wanna get: Bob Baatfam
sign says “No Left Turn”, so point front wheel the other way: Roger Burque
ill vote for Norm Storm cuz about anybody describing that picture would say “downtown”. And looks like Norm stopped there just for a “downtown” pic.
