A few nights ago I went to the Tel-Aviv old train station, a renovated historical site on the border of Jaffa and Tel-Aviv. A location that has become the site of nice restaurants and upscale boutiques and clothing stores. This area remains preserved as it once was, some train tracks remain intact as do two box cars. It was nice to wander around this area on a calm summer night. The restaurants were seemingly trendy with some 20 and 30 somethings sipping cocktails at the bar, couples wining and dining and store keepers furtively stealing glances out the window awaiting the next customer to enter their designer high end stores. Almost immediately outside of this area sits a quaint park and a basketball court. On the way in we watched as these Arab and Israeli men played basketball, which soon after turned into soccer. Hatachana, as it is called in Hebrew, was first opened in September 1892. During the time of renovation the site hosted several cultural events. The site remains an active cultural center to this day.
