When I first saw this street, somewhere in the 1990s, it was mostly empty. Now it is very rarely empty.

Canadians and other Northen dwellers may laugh at our cold of only -4 degrees Centigrade, but it is a big deal here with lots of dead batteries and skating. The smoke in the sky is the power plant producing electricity.

St. Aagten is old Dutch for St. Agatha, a saint from the 3rd Century. The street is probably named after the cloister which was located here until Protestantism took control of the city in the 16th Century. The street in front is called the New Animal Market (Nieuwe Beestenmarkt), with the "new" referring to the market, not the animals. It was used as a animal market until the 1960s.

The church and MacDonalds are both new. The church, originally dating from early 19th century, was there before, but it was destroyed in the 1930s. It is called the Rizdvo Church.
