The city's an illusion, a quilt work of hopes and dreams. And a congenial facade, where nothing's quite what it seems. Sex breaks free from its cocoon to flex its neon wings at night. And rowdy bars open as fledgling morals take flight. Truth, like a shadow in the dark, is invisible here. And indelible smiles soon fade when your funds disappear. A city missing its soul has lost all track of its heart. And within the light of day, the illusion falls apart.

Downtown nightlife is a rough neighbourhood. Well described, Emile.
