A nostalgic photo and text book by Tanguy Ottomer about disappeared buildings, squares and statues in his city, such as:

• The chic Hotel Weber or the green Geuzenhofkes on the Rooseveltplaats.
• About 12 neighborhoods and squares in the Antwerp city center, the buildings that once stood there and the life that took place there.
• Told enthusiastically and with a lot of knowledge.
• Extensively illustrated with over 100 archival photographs, from 1910s black and white postcards to personal family photos from the 1970s.
• A plea for careful handling of heritage, but above all a declaration of love for the city of Tanguy Ottomer.
• A must for Antwerp residents of all ages, and for visitors who want to get to know the soul of the city of yesteryear.

City guide and personal shopper Tanguy Ottomer (1981) developed his one-man business into the successful 'Buro BeroepsBelg' that offers various original city walks. His candid approach earned him acclaim, including from The New York Times , The Financial Times and CNN , who proclaimed Tanguy "one of the 7 savviest tour guides in the world." He writes a column in the weekend magazine of the Gazet van Antwerpen .
