Best Inner City
Some kind of Chinese festival was going on in Groningen so the streets had a lot of red banners and red lanterns hung over them. Then there was this banner written in English and Chinese..."Groningen The Netherlands' Best Inner City". I'm sure this a case of literal translation gone wrong because I don't think Holland has inner cities by our definition. And if they did, would you really rank them or brag about being the best? Wouldn't the best inner city not be an inner city anymore? Perhaps this refers more to geography. Could there be a separate ranking of outer cities or coastal cities? I really should have asked someone because this is going to be on my mind for a long time.
