Bricks may be the best so far ... the sky seems too dark to my eyes.

I just want the steps either in Lightroom or photoshop or a video that will guide me. I have other city scapes or landscapes with shadows that need corrected.The time is later by 6 hours than shown in the data and the photo taken at 11:54 am not 5:54 am. This is the out of camera Jpeg and I will develop the NEF. The only youtube videos I have found have not been helpful.
The "shadow side" of the image seems to me to be the better side, with more detail and proper exposure for open shade. The other bright side looks over exposed as a jpg. An over or under RAW can usually be fixed. And you really do seem to have two pictures here. Darken the left and bright slightly the right, and live with what you captured. The is no rule that all of a subject must be in the same light or have the same brightness. Read what others wrote as well. Good luck.

Is the purpose of this an exercise or are you intending to use the photo? Are you interested in feedback on the photo, even if it is fixed?

No, there is no easy fix. However, whether the photo is a "throwaway" is totally up to the OP. There are folks who enjoy attempting to help, or challenge themselves with their own level of pp skill, and there are folks who sit back and judge everyone else.
We all have our roles to play.

Thank you for your Chg_Canon snark Linda, but I am not "judging everyone else," I am pointing out that what the OP asked for in the OP was a way to fix the shadow in this picture. No one yet can provide a fix, but only "Here is what I think is a little better." All I did was point out that what they are trying to do can't be done the way they are trying to do it.
I misspoke on the "throwaway" reference. What I should have said was "FOR ME, this would be a throwaway." What the OP does with it is none of my concern, but once again, the request was for a way to fix this, and no one has yet provided anything like a fix that would be believable. Maybe our OP is OK with the stuff that has been offered, but I am not judging the people who thought they were helping, only the results of their efforts, especially the ones who claim it is so easy to fix, and then demonstrate that they can't do it.

Some photos can’t be ‘fixed’ in PP. Punct.
Now that I look at it for the n-th time, perhaps a view from the shaded area to the sunny area would have been better, more action in the foreground but still giving a feel for the overall size, but some issues are best handled Pre, not Post.

But you are not the OP. Surely, you understand memories and photos that are special to you, if not to others?I probably would have looked for a more sunlit-view. Unless you find something interesting in this shot, I can’t imagine keeping it at all.

The OP also said he was looking for guidance in the form of suggestions. The object of the thread isn't a perfect fix. The OP wasn't asking for perfection. There are some here who are implying that if perfection isn't achievable it's not worth bothering with. They should go and read the opening post.

I didn't personally say that exactly, but I did imply (sort of) that if it was mine it would never be seen by anyone else...
