Because I run a tiny travel blog, I read Gridskipper religiously. They recently solicited entries for a photo contest (you submit urban photos to this Flickr photo pool). I submitted a few, and this grimy hotel near the Granville Street Bridge has been selected as a weekly finalist.
Go check out the photos and vote, if you’re so inclined.
