Last Saturday I went with three friends of mine to the Grote Broek (big pants). It is a place in the middle of town. In 1986 it started when some lefties broke into the place and started squatting it. Their ideas were that an ideal world should not contain hierarchical society and that everybody should be their own boss. It became a place of free thinkers. Ow yeah, they also dress differently and a lot of them are vegans
Squatting in this society isn’t something you want to condone; so a solution was found. Local authorities decided to sell the place to a cooperation. This cooperation would in turn rent it to Grote Broek. The second of May was the grand opening (Dutch). A nice vibe round there with nice food and afterwards a dance party at the Onderbroek (underpants), which is a basement underneath the Grote Broek.
