Hey everyone. I'm here for about a week, just got in on the train. I'd like to hear from local urban enthusiasts on what their favourite areas are here. If you're interested in my perspective on arriving here in the northeastern suburbs.,

I haven't been downtown yet but obviously I'm headed there soon, just need to get some caffeine in the system first.
Here's what I'm interested in specifically:
Photography - where are some good spots to get a perspective on the city? Or nice places to photograph in general?
Old commercial areas - blocks with a continuous streetwall and diverse retail activity
Railways - light and heavy rail in the inner city. Are there still any tracks into the downtown besides the LRT? Any interesting rail infrasture like bridges and tunnels, either in use or abandoned?
Tall buildings with public observation areas?
Thanks in advance for any advice. If anyone wants to meet and show me around, I'll gladly buy you a few beers.
