Gin-factory. Jenever is the Dutch name for gin. Gin has been made her for 300 years, but nowadays business is going slow. Nobody drinks anymore, everybody is getting stoned instead. This might well be the last chance to buy a bottle of authentic jenever. The owner thinks of starting a coffeeshop soon.

Raephof. A hof is an couple of houses surrounding a garden, only accessable by a small gate. Often people of the same status live inside these hofs, such as widows (or in modern time: lesbians). This particular hof was build in 1648, the name Raep probably refers to 'rap'. The widows would all come together and sing songs about money, wagons and jewelry.
