Where in the World is Gary? #54

This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#53) is Tel Aviv, Israel

The Stroget is the world’s model for pedestrianized thoroughfares and is basically a giant outdoor shopping mall. The winter palace of the royals here is really a cluster of four (4) almost identical buildings.

The symbol of this place is a small statue of a mermaid.
