Sometimes the contrast between the two sides of the street can be striking. One of the Arab homes, right across from the former IDF position, is decorated with a picture of the Dome of the Rock. Arabic writing is visible on many others. Here and there you can hear an Arab radio station blaring out. The mostly Arab children who appear on the roads during the day alternate between friendliness and suspicion.
Older people act the same way.
Some smile at visitors openly. Take a sharp left up to Rehov Gihon. View one of the more prestigious stone apartment houses built after 1967. Make a right onto Rehov Asael. A stone wall and barbed wire once marked this street.
