> There is only one building in North America, probably in the world, where one can browse bestsellers and children’s books by crossing an international border and then sit for an amateur theatre troupe in a regal opera house with each half of your body in two different countries.<p>Maybe not quite specifically that, but I expected there to be similar things, given that there's borders all over the place in Europe. Sure enough, in the very first city I checked, I found a library + culture center + music academy right on the border between the Netherlands and Belgium.[1]<p>That is at least according to the rough border on maps.

She repeated the joke – echoing Donald Trump’s recent fixation on annexing Canada – three times."<p>Absolute insanity, clown behavior
