c-town, harlem style

Unless there is someone from Amman reading this, I do not think it will be fully appreciated.

C-town in Harlem.

The same as that in Amman, the landmarks of the city. That's what we use- we live near C-town in Tla Al Ali (neighborhood). I usually start by saying near Duwar Al Waha (near the Al Waha circle). There is a restaurant called Al Waha (the oasis) past this circle, if you are coming from Garden Street (garden, as in the English word). But most people seem not to know it!!! Life no longer ends at the circle, it continues past the circle into an area that used to be referred to as near the New English School (same as in Kuwait, I think, where Queen Rania went, I think).

But the city has grown and now people don't refer to the same landmarks.

Aside: we don't have actual addresses (well, until recently and so nobody uses addresses). Landmarks are how you get around.

So there are places like C-Town. Like Safeway. Or the new (Abdoun, Mecca) or old (Mujama' Jaber) malls.

I'm going to start using it- you know, it's in Harlem, near C-Town.
