That's right 8000 inhabitants and we're a city.



the name originates from an roman fortress that was build on our land. Were eventually a small town emerged.
the city was called Oudenburg in Medievel times (Translates as Old Fortress)
The fortress is sadly gone, the stone's stolen to build a big part of T'steen... The Medieval fort of Brugges.



And Ofcourse our most renowned visitingplace



It's an old Monastery where St-arnoldus apparently has lived.
He's the Patron/saint of brewers.
And boy, they still make some good beer. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402312/3415260.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402312/3415260.page GMT Re:Cities from around the world, what does your city look like? :)

Sheffield by night.

George Orwell - The Road to Wigan Pier wrote:One particular picture of Sheffield stays by me. A frightful piece of waste ground (somehow, up here a piece of waste ground attains a squalor that would be impossible even in London), trampled quite bare of grass and littered with newspaper, old saucepans etc. To the right an isolated row of gaunt four room houses, dark red, blackened by smoke. To the left an interminable vista of factory chimneys, chimney behind chimney, fading away into a dim blackish haze. Behind me a railway embankment made from the slag of furnaces. In front, across the piece of waste ground, a cubical building of dingy red and yellow brick, with the sign, 'John Grocock, Haulage Contractor'.

Other memories of Sheffield: stone walls blackened by smoke, a shallow river yellow with chemicals, serrated flames, like circular saws, coming out from the cowls of the foundry chimneys, thump and scream of steam hammers (the iron seems to scream under the blow), smell of sulphur, yellow clay, backsides of women wagging laboriously from side to side as they shove their perambulators up the hills....

Also pretty big is our military presence. If you look at the above image the body of water that the little bridge crosses is called Rudee Inlet.


That's not just some pimped out boat, that there be a SEAL boat heading out for some training, using Rudee Inlet in order to do so. I live in a tourist town that has a huge military presence, F-18s fly in the sky, closer to the oceanfront you can see military vehicles, and all sorts of other fun things.

Closer to my city we have Norfolk Naval Base, but we also have a nice little naval museum with the USS Wisconsin, if you served in WW2's Pacific Theater, Korea, Vietnam, or even in the first Gulf War you were supported by this bad boy. In fact, a lot of the news footage of the first Gulf War where they show missile fire are thanks to this ship.
