Does your city have a "midtown"?
I've noticed a lot of cities I've visited have a neighborhood called Midtown. It's typically near downtown.
So, without breaking copyright laws (I've already been smacked down for that) how about posting pictures of your city's Midtown?

Grand Center | The Intersection of Art and Life | Saint Louis Missouri
St. Louis' midtown was renamed Grand Center several years ago. the name change coinsided with a marketing campaign to promote the area as an art and entertainment district. There are several art museums, galleries, music clubs and cafes.

Midtown Phoenix is a linear business district located along Central Avenue just north of the city's true downtown. Midtown begins north of I-10 with several cultural institutions including the Burton Barr Central Library, the Phoenix Art Museum, and the Heard Museum. Just north of those institutions, mid-rise corporate buildings emerge, growing in density and height north of Thomas Road. Midtown Phoenix is tall and skinny, with a linear skyline that clusters with the more traditional Downtown skyline when viewed from the north or south, but looks like an archipelago of towers when viewed from the east or west. Like the midtowns of just about every city other than New York, Midtown Phoenix is not as pedestrian-friendly as Downtown; however, it is being joined to Downtown by a light rail line now under construction.
Here's an album I have started. I'll be adding more photos in the future.

Harrisburg, PA has a midtown. It is just north of downtown and is the latest "up-and-coming" area. Lots of rehabs and new construction going on, a new college campus, restaurants and other boutique shops are opening up. There are still a lot of vacant lots and scattered crime problems, but things seem to be getting better ever year. It's a great investment opportunity *hint hint NYC and Philly investors  *
