The Argentinian and Mexican restaurant El Paso in Hindeloopen, Friesland, the Netherlands has his own growth measure pole.

We read the announcement on Twitter. We saw inspiring pictures on Thrillist. Would the name Beekman indicate an owner with a Dutch background?

In a Dutch radio program, Kunststof, guests are requested to make a statement of remark on a tile, as sign that they have been in the program. We saw this picture on pinterest, bit more complicated then leaving a review on a social media site but more fun! And perhaps it’s an idea to make nice compliment tiles on your terrace!
