I like the atmosphere, but as Crono said the buildings could really use some work. Another issue is that most streets aren't just straight roads with parallel buildings on either side; things like parks, bus stops, subway entrances, public squares, restaurant/cafe seating areas, etc... all help make a place more interesting. While it is true that many streets, particularly in America, are perpendicular to each other and run straight, it might be more interesting to deviate from that and make some of them run at angles, possibly meeting each other and providing a y-junction type point.

Looks decent... seems like you should include the new textures, detail, and building brushwork before posting, if thats not what its going to look like...

That's the most boring looking city ever. No city has identical buildings spanning a block
But, other than that, the only thing that looks weird is that there seems to be buildings only on that block ... none past it (in the screenshot).
I'd suggest, getting some building screenshots and adding them in.

It can also be much bigger and still run smooth. Actually, tall ass buildings would be the key to doing that.
