BlueWolf Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Talking about weird borders. My dad stumbled upon this city in the Netherlands near the Belgium border called Baarle-Nassau: I looked it up and was surprised Google Maps wasn't lying. It really is that way! This means that you may live in the Netherlands, but you neighbour lives in Belgium and the end of the street is already the Netherlands again. It even includes little parts of farmland outside the city that are partly part of Belgium for no apparent reason. To avoid confusion they made it very clear which part of the city your in though. But the funniest picture I found is probably this one. Where does this person live?? You can see it for yourself here in Google Maps.

Jay Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Anyone ever watch "How the States Got Their Shapes"? It was a very interesting show, It was on the history channel. There are some craazy borders even within the US! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Elyse. . . . I posted mine (June 5th) before you posted yours (June 15th), I don't see the problem?? No, Jason...haven't seen that one. But yeah...borders can be crazy. There's one right in my city (though not as crazy as Jos's example! LOL), where one side of the street you live in St. Catharines, and the other side of the street you live in Thorold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
