Temporary Color Along Amsterdam’s Ugliest

The Wibautstraat is a modern four track road that ends in the center of Amsterdam. For years this street was considered to be the most ugly street of Amsterdam. Indeed it's badly maintained and traffic runs 24/7 here. But it's definitely not fair to call this street the most ugly one in Amsterdam. In fact it's a 'potential lane', expressed by the sudden emergence of temporary clubs and bars such as Trouw and Canvas. Even the New York Times spent an article on it, claiming that the Wibautstraat is "emerging as a center of hip in this city, splashed in disappearing newsprint".
