On June the 12th 2009, Tel Aviv will have his 11th annual Pride Parade.

Within a few month the first houses for those 66 families were build (Herzl, Jehuda-ha Levie and Lilienblum-street). As for today Tel Aviv-Jaffa population hit an all-time high of 391.300 inhabitants, still quite small compare to cities in Europe and the States. But this small city is an open minded city, free of spirit and always on the move. Just read what international magazines and papers wrote the last few years about the city: In January 2008 the leading French fashion magazine Vogue dedicated three flattering articles about Tel Aviv … Read entire article »
