rainy streets
Puddle-covered urban roads
Streets wet from rainfall, evoking a particular urban atmosphere—reflections of streetlights on pavement, the sound of tires on wet asphalt, figures hurrying under umbrellas.
The phrase appears often in noir fiction, melancholy songs, and nostalgic descriptions of city life: She walked the rainy streets alone, thinking of what might have been.
