Notes from Dina Tanners, on her recent visit to Kiryat Malachi: Posted July, 2008

In the past year Kiryat Malachi streets have become more attractive. At the center of the kikarim (roundabouts), plants, trees and pottery have been installed. The kikar near the center of town will look fantastic when it is finished. An olive tree has been transplanted to the center of the raised kikar. Workers are still putting bricks and planting around the tree, but it should look lovely when finished. Two murals are on adjacent walls near that roundabout. Some of the narrow road dividers are not planted too. The newest "paintings" in town are those on the meter tall electric boxes. I enjoy discovering new ones when I walk to different neighborhoods. Before they were painted, many were covered with graffiti, but I have yet to see a painting one scarred in such a way. I think the youth in town too take pride in this beautification. When you come to town, check them out! -Dina
