Tajrish (Persian: تجريش, also Romanized as Tajrīsh) is a former village in Shemiranat County, Tehran Province, Iran, which has since been absorbed intoTehran.
Tajrish neighbourhood is located along the northern edge of Tehran. This neighbourhood is one of the oldest parts of Tehran and during the last few decades have become popular with the upper- classes of the society as a result of the low levels of pollution, in turn created by the area's favorable location along Tehran's northern hills. Tajrish is situated in the Shemiranat County. As of 2006, the neighborhood had 86,000 inhabitants.
Tajrish has an old bazaar and a mausoleum called Imam Zadeh Saleh, both popular tourist spots.
Tajrish Square is currently one of the busiest parts of Tehran, with bus terminals, cab terminals, and shopping malls (including the popular Tandis Center). The square is where Valiasr Street terminates. Valiasr is the longest and, along with Shariati Avenue, one of the most important streets in Tehran. It is also one of the busiest transportation hubs in Tehran. Many other suburbs are accessible from this square. A major metro station, the northern terminus of line one (the red line) is located here.
Tajrish is the at the junction of streets that lead to Saad Abad Palace, Velenjak, Asad Abad, Zafaraniyeh, Elahieh, and Niavaran as well as many of the other places in northern Tehran.
Tajrish bazaar has been built according to architectural style which closely resembles the traditional bazaar located in downtown Tehran. Some of its arches have been destroyed due to construction of multi-story buildings and its traditional identity has been threatened by irregularity of window shops and external view of new stores. “According to ratification by Tehran Municipality, the bazaar will be organized according to a new plan which will be implemented in cooperation with Tehran Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization.” The official further stated that the project will take 18 solar months and the cost of organizing this economic and trade center in north Tehran has been estimated at about 28 billion rials.
Tajrish bazaar includes a roofed passageway through which thousands of people pass en route to paying pilgrimage to Emamzadeh Saleh or to the Bazaar for purchasing goods.
Tehran, Iran, Golestan Palace
The lavish Golestan Palace is a masterpiece of the Qajar era, embodying the successful integration of earlier Persian crafts and architecture with Western influences. The walled Palace, one of the oldest groups of buildings in Teheran, became the seat of government of the Qajar family, which came into power in 1779 and made Teheran the capital of the country. Built around a garden featuring pools as well as planted areas, the Palace’s most characteristic features and rich ornaments date from the 19th century. It became a centre of Qajari arts and architecture of which it is an outstanding example and has remained a source of inspiration for Iranian artists and architects to this day. It represents a new style incorporating traditional Persian arts and crafts and elements of 18th century architecture and technology. (Unesco)
This is the view out the front door of the Abshar restaurant. I really loved this little neighborhood. Not a wealthy, or even middle class neighborhood, but it definitely felt like this might be typical Tehran.

Defiant Iranians celebrate Festival Of Fire at London embassy. 03/15/2011
Several hundred supporters of the Iranian oppositions movement the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI) and Association of Anglo-Iranian Women in the UK gathered outside the Iranian Embassy in London's Prince's Gate - where there has been a continual protest against the Islamic regime for the last 27 days - to celebrate the traditional Iranian Festival of Fire, or Chahar-shanbeh-suri, the celebration of which back home in Iran has become an act of defiance against the hard-line government.
Simultaneously in Iran many Iranians openly challenged Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei tonight by taking to the streets for the Festival of Fire, which Khamenei had said has no religious basis and should not be celebrated.
Iranian authorities have tried unsuccessfully to ban the celebration of the Festival of Fire since the 1979 revolution. In 2010 officials went to great lengths to prevent the festival from turning into a show of force by the opposition and to keep people at home. Despite the prohibition, with its implicit threats of severe punishment - or worse - people turned out in Tehran, Isfahan, Karaj and other cities and demonstrated their extreme frustration with the much-feared theocratic government.
This year Iranians in opposition are inspired by the political unrest which has swept across the entire region following the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, and it is expected that the Iranian authorities - extremely nervous about the political uprisings springing up all over the region - will demonstrate a show of strength in the main squares and streets to stop people demonstrating publicly against the regime.
Back at the London embassy there were speeches from opposition leaders, and as dusk fell many hand-held lights were lit. A projection screen was put up and a live interent link to celebrations in Iran was broadcast to the assembled protesters amongst much cheering.
An otherwise good-natured demonstration was marred slightly by a scuffle amongst a couple of people who seemed to represent two different groups, or who might have had personal grudges to air which spilled out onto the road before the Stewards quickly calmed them down and the demonstration and celebration continued without further incident.
