Sunday at the Strijp-S

Strijp-S is a former industrial site once used by Phillips. It has been transformed into culture and retail hub, as well as home to new initiatives and startup companies. We mainly went to visit the Feel Good Market again, but discovered it has much more to offer.

There is a very nice indoor skate park, which made Phillip and Timmy want to start skateboarding.

We also saw an outdoor exhibit about sustainable technologies, such as 100% recyclable plastic bottles, made from 100% recycled materials, 3D printed dresses and shoes, (Sylvia though that would be handy to have), 3D printed lightings, low energy lights and other cool stuff.

Another part of the exhibit was repurposed shipping containers into living and working spaces, with smart gardens using very limited resources to grow food. Too bad it was cold and rainy, so after couple hours we decided to head home. We will need to go back and visit some of the stores and restaurants, maybe even attend a concert or another performance. We are fortunate to be staying less than a mile away, we can do that easily.
