Copenhagen's Hippie Haven - "Denmark's conservative government is gunning for Copenhagen's counterculture Christiania neighborhood, aka Freetown. But as history has shown, the challenge may just make that hippie haven a bit stronger."

That's a post from Oct 16, 2004 I wrote about Christiania, during the last uprising they had. The people in Christiania developed their own set of rules, completely independent of the Danish government and were founded in 1971, when a group of hippie squatters took over an area of abandoned military barracks in Copenhagen. Their main street is Pusher Street, which is self-explanatory.

Mooonna grew up in Christiania and has posted several pictures, including some of the Army of Clowns on her SU site.

Unused military land + squatter's rights = Christiana and I say why not? They're having way too much fun, so naturally somebody is trying to close them down yet again.
