Purim in the city

I'm gonna cut the Tel Aviv municipality a break just this time, forgetting the crazy high Arnona bills we all get here. Purim was this weekend, which meant it's the peak time of the year to let loose, dress up and have fun. Every year during Purim there are hundreds of parties and events going on. The biggest are usually the random street parties that happen around the city. A few years ago, the biggest of all of the street parties were held at night in the Florentin neighborhood, but since things there got a bit too crazy and out of control, the municipality decided to step in and organize its own form of party for people who want to celebrate.

Since last year, they decided it would be best to switch things up and hold a tamer day time street party in the more posh northern area of the city on Shaul Ha'melech Boulevard right by the Tel Aviv Museum. Unfortunately, I had to work during the weekend, so I couldn't make it. Such is life in Tel Aviv, and in Israel for that matter. The extra Shabbat pay makes a difference. Nonetheless, the tradition continued and I heard it was a good time.
