This blog was started in 2008 when our alley, the Oudezijds Armsteeg, was a big garbage mountain mess. In 2012, we started the street gardens (geveltuinen), and an art gallery in the alley, with the help of the Gemeente Amsterdam. And now, several years later, our street is totally different. But we have decided to keep this blog for “historic” reference. To learn more about our struggles, please read about the Street corner history.

We started another blog, http://www.oudezijdsarmsteeg.nl; unfortunately it has not been updated in a long while. But you can view the online version of the Art Gallery
