Mahane Yehuda market

Mahane Yehuda market is on Jaffo Street close to the Nahalaot
neighborhood. The market is very old. In the 19th century Arabs
sell fruits and vegetables there.
In 1908 Jews also open stores and stands.
The market is very dirty, but it's close to the Jewish neighborhoods
and many people come to buy there.
The British want to clean the market, but they don't succeed.
In 1980 the mayor Teddy Kolec wants to make order in the market
and there is money from the Jerusalem foundation.
They build the market anew.
Now the market is nice and tidy. There are coffee shops and
boutiques there. Many Israelis and tourists come to the market. It is
nice to do shopping there now.
