    Folkingestraat

    Folkingestraat
    by nighthawk
    Like Amsterdam has its 'Jordaan', so is the 'Folkingestreet' the folksy part of Groningen. For ages this street was the beating heart of the Jew community of Groningen. Many stories are known: Mrs Gaarkeuken who kept the shiny, high hats of the committee in her cupboard bed; butcher Gosschalk who had the first shop window; Benjamin Stoppelman, shoe salesman, who hided his trade under the floor. After the war the boxes only had right foot shoes....;Mozes Nieveen, every day during the war he said to his neighbour: 'You still here?'

    The synagogue, the rabbinate house and the houses, where once Jew and Dutch lived peacifully together are still standing as silent witnesses of a lost fight between tolerance and misunderstanding.
    Finally the synagogue became sjoel again after being laundrette for years and a brothel disappeared from the rabbinates house.

    The old multi color returned. This is just one street, every street has its own history. Where possible, I will add this information.

    The Folkingestraat nowadays is a colourful street where one can shop multi culti.
    Especially in summer it is a bit as if the old times re-live: lot of folks in the street, people sitting out side, music, talking.

    On the photograph you can see the shop where once was a horse butcher. A tile plaque at the left still reminds us of it.

  • If you're going shopping in the Netherlands (and overall to be an environmentally concious person) buy yourself a cheap shopping bag to put your stuff in
    Their available all over..in different styles and sizes (trollys, messenger bags, backpacks, etc)

    Otherwise, normally you pay a small amount for plastic bags at shops here.

  • There's this cute tiny comic/cartoon items shop on the side of the road between Grote Market and the train station, you'll see a spongebob or a betty boop t-shirt smirking at you

    To get there:

    Ok, so you're standing in front of Albert Heijne Supermarket building in the middle of Grote Market
    If your back is facing Albert Heijn, take your right and keep keep walking straight down the alley...as if your walking towards the cinema or the train station

    You'll probably find a spongebob staring at you from your right

    Tshirts, mugs, socks, etc
    Plenty of things Cartoon related
