Riots after tribute to Ajax 8 May 2007 AMSTERDAM - Riots broke out in Amsterdam after the Ajax football team was honoured at the Museumplein. Groups of Ajax supporters destroyed bus shelters and smashed shop windows around the Leidseplein. At least 50 people were arrested. Once the riot...

Removing the parking garage would have given them the incentive to excavate and rebuild the garage underground immediately. It may have then sat incomplete like the BA Centre for years but the time without a parking garage at Ryerson would have likely been 1-2 years rather than the whole time...

It's a beautiful canal and I'm in a traditional 250 year old Amsterdam canal house with 15 foot ceilings and massive windows which made me decide to go over my budget when I saw it. But after 4 months I'm already looking forward to the end of my lease. The Leidseplein is too active for me -...
