And that's what's on the right of the first photo- the mall of modern Beit She'an, whose most prominent sign is...well, imagine some Canaanite king millennia ago:
"O prophet, tell me of the future of this place."
"I see...I see...two glorious golden arches!"
Yup, it's a McDonald's. My camera can't quite capture it, but, yeah, you can see them at the same time.
Plug: I highly recommend the felafel place next door to the mall. And Kibbutz Shluchot, down the road, where we spent Shabbat.
More pictures to follow, I hope.

Hey nachum - dont be such a snob! McDonalds might be bourgeois fare, but it does capture the wealth and power of the West in the 21st century. The early beit shan-iks would be awed!
By the way - what the devil is that lump of rocks on the left side anyway/
Snob? Me? I'm delighted! It's kosher, by the way.
On the left side of what picture? In the first and second, it's a Canaanite fortress.
Very cool pictures! There has to be something about McDonalds in Tanach... I don't see how the prophets could have missed it.
