Crowds

Crowds in the shouk Monday -- more than I'd have expected on an odd Monday, but the weather was sunny and warm, and Yafo Rd sidewalks were also full of pedestrians all the way to Kikar Tsion. For a long time after they closed Yafo to traffic to build the light rail, few people walked this route. Now I have hope the crowds are buying more from the stores along the way.

Many of the shops sell shoes. "How many shoes can Jerusalem need?" my friend asks. to be sure, in spite of a more and more people owning cars, Jerusalemites still walk more than do the inhabitants of most US cities. Also, I've noticed relatively few cobblers' shops. Many of today's shoes cannot be repaired.

If you like Nayot or Beautifeel shoes, buy them here for less.
