Wow, personally I don't see what the big deal is over any of this. I've never even heard of American Apparel, or Veterans for Peace. In my opinion, if you worry about this type of thing, and get involved in this kind of conflict, you need to find a hobby. Fast. ROFL.

I conceded that there are plenty of eating/drinking establishments on the namal. One of my favorite restaurants in Tel Aviv is in the area. I'm sure you're right to say there are clothing stores there, but no one I know or know of goes there for shopping. Most people I know go there in the evening, if at all. As for the suckitude of tourist spots, to each his own. I love (pretty much) all of Tel Aviv. The namal has its attractions, but I would call it neither new nor "hot." If anything, I would have expected American Apparel to open in south Tel Aviv. And I'm no dude. Sorry, Jobber, but it cannot be a coincidence that most of your posts elicit hostile replies.

So while all, I repeat, all, of my childhood friends, attained the type of success as Mr. Charney, some a little less, a couple even more, who was fortunate to grow up in a strong urban center, indeed a rag trade center, as I have worked in some garment places on St. Urbain, area, I think they are still there, who I understand was able to start several businesses prior to entering the rag trade. Please do not construe that I am taking anything away from Mr. Charney as I know there are many in that area who didn’t do so well in this trade, since I did work there for a couple of months in the past. It had to do w/ pleating skirts all day was my job. I had to fight w. the ultra Orthodox to listen to rock music, they would turn off the radio, I would turn on, etc… they were extremely pious and did not want to hear a woman’s voice singing. So then after that, I was struggling to live in Israel, which at that time was going through a severe Depression. I am taking nothing away from Mr. Charney and only wish that a place in the respectable ranks could be found for me, but to answer middles crass comment, no, I do not do the type of turnover that impresses you middle. All of friends from childhood, who own companies, do in fact ask my advice on business issues from time to time, and in fact I can tell you that on one occasion I have saved someone from jail time, who I demanded run some sick scheme by me, and I told him that he would get caught eventually, not for a year or 2, but at some point. and in fact his cohorts did, and they are sitting in jail as we speak. However, to my credit, I place a strong emphasis on visiting Israel and make 2 trips a year to her, and I have to accomplish this by taking on small part time jobs in my weekend and nights, work, that I am certain would turn your stomach and you would not do, and rightly so, but in my case, this is how I can afford to pay, as you know there are many many expenses beyond the flight cost. I have many friends from those years in Israel who also moved back to the USA and they rarely visit. I don’t see how you can pass up on at least an annual visit myself. And in fact, I am also sending my kids, independent of any free Birthright tour, on individual trips to Israel, in the next couple of years. So of this I am proud.

So I am qualified on that basis, and that basis alone, to make an observation. Why should we discuss anything, if a poster is going to be attacked, for making an observation, an intelligent observation? what kind of people are you if that is all you can do, at least CK and Laya, inject a sense of humor, may I ask that we stop attacking posters who make an observation about Tel Aviv and what areas of town are better than others?

The namal is probably the stalest, most touristy part of the city and is maybe good for the bars/restaurants on the beach and picking up hookers, but not much else. No one that I know of really goes there for shopping. Clearly you haven't been to Dizengoff Center on a Friday. The tragically unhip still flock there en masse. I happen to like Dizengoff (particularly the little local fashion designers' market on Friday) despite the fact that it's horribly unattractive and kind of weirdly planned. And anwyay AA only has a street entrance and is not even part of the mall per se, so I don't see the problem. Incidentally, American Apparel just opened a store in my town a few weeks ago, miles away from any one of the "hot," forever sprawling strip malls in the area. It is very deliberately located in one of the most counterintuitive spots imaginable, where the indier-than-thou downtown kids can worship at its ironically situated feet. I tease, actually I appreciate very much the attempt to revive a dying downtown area, and it will be interesting to see if the store thrives there. Jobber obviously misses the point, but like themiddle says, maybe you should just let Charney do what's working for him.

I'll make sure that our friends here at Jewlicious find a way to pass it on to Charney. After all, what does he know from store location, his business is only generating $250 million this year.

I mean, sure, maybe the nexus of Tel Aviv hipness, such as it is, has moved on to Sheinkin, but that's still sort of like calling a location in Rockefeller Center out of the way...
