POSTS OF THE WEEK!

Tel Aviv suffered floods of biblical proportions this week… or so Ron Huldai would have us believe. Spotted on the streets were crazy Dutchmen, umbrellas for dogs, the new teleboat service, Wolt’s new delivery boats, a famous couple on a scooter, a submarine, and even the loch ness monster made an appearance! There was also an important question what happens to cars that float from blue and white to red and white parking… which was quickly answered with tickets! Jokes aside, this is what a city looks like when it is totally unprepared for this regular annual occurrence… with cars floating in the street and falling into sink holes, and flooding across the South of the City in Jaffa, Florentin, Rothschild, and the Kerem. Thanks everyone for sharing!
