Hawthorne Lane, East Gloucester, Massachusetts, between 1900 and 1920, by Detroit Publishing Co., via Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.
The signs on the tree: Direct to Hawthorne Inn (to the right), A.P.T. deHaas Gate Lodge (to the left), and Miss Willard’s Studio.
The front of this small gallery on Rue de Flandre (or Vlaamsesteenweg) in Dansaert shows how Brussels can be both charming and a little grim at the same time.
I took these pictures a week ago yesterday.
There’s a nice appreciation of the city on The Economist’s Intelligent Life website here.
The neighborhood of Dansaert starts about four blocks northwest of the Grand’Place and is definitely worth exploring, especially if you are interested in Belgian fashion design and/or food.
The gallery, Impasse Temps/Tijd Gang*, is staging a series of weekend exhibits on “Pattern(s)” between now and November 24.
It is located at 123 Rue de Flandre.
