Tel Aviv vs Israel

A news article says Tel Aviv in Israel out. While I loved Tel Aviv, it reminded me of other big cities. That's why I moved to Zichron Yacov - like Napa Valley wine country it is. This article would be like saying New York in  New York out ( NY state ). I would hear Israels call tel Aviv the capitol ( not Jerusalem) and the rest of  the country a province, Out side of tel Aviv you still had the pioneering feeling of living in Israel, but you also get the feeling the powers to be really don't care about you. witness the rocket attacks on Sderot. Like Sinclair Babbits book title,  Main Street, I loved the fact that most small towns in Israel have that one main street down the middle with all the action on one street. Thus a chapter in my book- Main Street Israel.

Not complimentary Jokes I heard about this though -about Zichron Yacov in the early days. It is a "one donkey town" or about another semi major town - not Tel Aviv-/ afula,  " it's the armpit of the country.  Actually, Zichron Yacov  is one of the prettiest new old places in Israel donkeys included. tip for tourist. If you come on a weekend and sit at the cafe on the main street you are likely to see famous Israeli's / actors/ singers/ visiting ( if they are not out of the country)  and you can't miss them because there is only one main street.


Tel Aviv in israel out is the notion of this article.
