This is such a coincidence that I was in Maastricht this week with my mother and I took these images of this smokestack and the bloggers from Finland below posted a series postings of their urban explorations of this abandoned factory.

I saw this smokestack from the bus window and get excited immediately because of its ominous name. When we were photographing in the park nearby I wanted as well to go there and see what there was. Visited by skkye 5-6.4.2012.

Unannounced Visits & Unexpected Guts Guests © Frank H. Jump

Yesterday my mother and I walked to the ancestral home of my great grandmother where she lived during WWII and later sold plants and flowers from her front parlor (see posting). We rang the bell and we were please to be let in by the lovely Monika The, who has lived here for almost 50 years. My mother Willy and I talked about how the neighborhood has become such a trafficked area and Monika told us how disrespectful people (tourists) and others can be. A film crew set up in front of her building without a permit, nor proper courtesy of asking if it was OK. These are some of the actors. We thought we’d seize the moment for a picture.

Dutch, French & Viennese Bread Bakery – Widow E.A. Rekers

From the Art Nouveau Jugendstil font style, this sign can be dated from 1890 – 1910 – with my estimate towards the later end of this period. According to the Dutch site Winkelstories – Rekers, Wed. EA, bakery was founded in 1878. The building has a date of 1896 – which may be when it was renovated. Now Kwakman bakery. Prinsengracht 462 / Leidsestraat corner
