Rishelevskaya
Street (Ришельевская)
Formerly named Lenina during the Soviet Union. This
street is the business thoroughfare for Odessa, with
fewer trees than Pushkinskaya (Пушкинская), more businesses,
and a more hurried feel. In certain parts of the summer,
this street is difficult to walk on because of the
pollen from the trees.

Odessa's one and only mosque. This building is officially
called a "cultural center", although it
is a mosque. The name "cultural center",
was a requirement of the local authorities. Reportedly
this "cultural center" faced stiff opposition
from the local authorities. It is rumored in the local
Arab community that the builders had to pay several
thousand dollars in bribes and faced stiff opposition
and typical soviet bureaucracy before it could be
built.
