Colorful foliage isn’t the only fall pleasure.  For those urban dwellers unable to trek north for the spectacular displays of forested color, a warm shaft of sunlight on a downtown street can lift moods just as well.  The temperatures might be dropping, with daylight disappearing ever earlier, but a pedestrian can still luxuriate with a place in the sun.
