You can loosen up the contrast a little this way... Create a new layer and change its mode to "Screen" to create a lighter layer, then use a layer mask to let the sky/clouds and the street bleed through from the darker layer. I used 100% mask on the sky and about 25% on the street and building w/the yellow awnings on the left. Not exactly HDR but it does open the shadows some.
