Have been sitting here for about 90 minutes trying to work this one out, but I just can't work it out ....
You'd better love a crowd if you visit this city. Pack into a stadium to watch a sport left by one colonial power or join millions sent in to a religious ferevour by another. Try and find a seat in the curious hybrid that makes up the city's public transportation - or simply see if you can squeeze into a pair of size 8s. Name the city.
The four pictures are:

some ?baseball players on the pitch
a red "skywalker" bus covered in street art with some passengers inside
some racks of shoes
what looks like a museum to the sport in question (or maybe a church to the sport, difficult to tell)

It definitely looks like a north american city.

Would really appreciate some help, please.

Many thanks, Chox.

Us Colony - Play Baseball - Pope John Paul visited and Millions Attended ??

Try Manila, Philippines
They have a colonial history being governed by the British 1762 and 1764, and they've also been ruled by the Spanish and United States. Baseball is a popular sport there due to US influence. The bus is a Jeepney, a popular mode of transport in Manila and the philippines. The shoes are a reference to Imelda Marcos, and during the Pope's visit to Manila in 1995 for the Manila X World Youth Day - He offered mass to between 5 and 7 million people in Luneta Park, the largest ever Papal gathering.

And I forgot to mention on my previous Manila answer................ That the black cross and figure of Jesus (I think), is the Black Nazarene. Carried though the streets of Quiapo in Manila on January 9th and Good Friday's. The procession involves thousands of barefoot men carrying the statue and cross through the streets shouting Viva Señor - and the general public clambour to touch the statue to invoke a miracle.
