Smoke divide
This post is for the archive of odd regulations. The dotted line on the ceiling of café Verschueren has been put in place to indicate the separation between the smokers and no smokers side of the café. Before the law required that smokers spaces need to be closed off spaces, there was a brief period […] more…
Bakken dance
New developments around the wooden boxes filled with gravel in the Haeckstraat. First the six boxes have shifted position, diminishing the space thy occupy. Next, see the picture above, one of them has disappeared. Also visible is that dragging the boxes around has worn of the marking on the street surface which indicated a no […] more…
Tweedehans +D, Tropish +C
The Dutch in these info panels in Kanal, the new museum in Brussels in the former Citroën garage on Sainctelette square, have been corrected by a visitor. The dutch texts are grammatically well done. But ‘second hand car’ would be ‘tweedehands auto’, and from the missing space and the d that is lacking suggest that […] more…

Announcing the dark side
Rue Godecharle, 1000 Brussels (picture september 2018) Some undesired things cling on for a while. These grim looking left-overs of announcements are here since over a year, see the screen shot from g$$gle earth dating from may 2017. more…
One way, added street
Rue Terre-neuve, 1000 Bxssls A classic alteration: a dead end street sign, made applicable to the local street lay-out with a piece of white tape. I thought I had encountered this same sign before, but reviewing the actual picture, it is definitely family, but not identically the same. See post below. Flexible directions more…
Watch out, you are not being watched
Pedestrians coming from the main esplanade between the Luxembourg square and the European Parliament building are warned that they are leaving the area that is being surveilled by the V company. In other words: they are entering the city of Brussels. more…
Blue EU concrete barriers
Rue Belliard, 1000 Brussels Concrete barriers have been placed along the Belliard street, to separate cars from pedestrians, cyclists, office buildings. I presume this is done in the spirit of wanting to prevent for deliberate attacks using the car as a weapon. Useless to say that cars are killing machine anyway, which is very noticeable […] more…
No more Confisseres + I
Rue Vanderstichelen 129, next to 0cta+ tankstation On this address the Salon de Lavoir Siranet is housed. It used to be occupied by a night shop that had a signpost with beautiful handwritten and hand corrected lettering. That is now replaced by the image of a laughing washing machine. Confisseres + I more…
Changed situation
Steenweg op Merchtem / chaussée de Merchtem, coming from Rue Piers. Since some time a troubling traffic sign is put up. (see previous post below). It mentions that the Chaussée de Gand, on the other end of the Merchtem street, can not be reached. But a small test proved that his is not the case, […] more…

Circular traces
Rue du Marche au Charbon, Brussels 1000 A subtle trace drawn on the pavement near bar Au Soleil. Brussels street=cleaning cars have two spinning brooms at the front. They gather dirt between them which is then sucked into the reservoir of the car. Many streets which are not accessible for cars are shut of by […] more…
No raids here
Ieperlaan, 1000 Brussels Two banners over the entrance to the Salvation Army: ” we don’t allow razzias (FR) and No razzias at our place (NL)”. These banners have been put up at several organisations in protest against the neo liberal right wing federal government who are raiding organisations ‘suspected’ of having ties with terrorism. It […] more…
New door again
Wapenstilstandstraat / Rue de l’armistice, 1081 Koekelberg When I took a picture of this door in 2012, it was the cut through wall writing that intrigued me: http://westenberg.constantvzw.org/?p=1038 Now six years later, the then newly placed door has been replaced again, but the text poetry has not changed a bit. more…
Smokers platform
October 2017, platform 3, North station, Brussels. A practical joke ? A citizens initiative to diminish the amount of cigarette buds on the pavement and propose an extra disposal next to the existing bags installed on the platform ? This ashtray has been glued to the garbage tray. It was actually used a lot, I […] more…
Putting the L in nouvel
Gare du Nord, 1000 Brussels Renovation of the main hall is in full progress. Temporary signage is pointing travelers the way to the new entrance. An unfortunate translation mistake needed to be corrected on all posters. It became an adventure in individual letter placing and spacing. more…
