The curbstones are called "Belgian Blocks" here, and they are common in our
town because the township usually requires they be used for curbing in all
new developments.

A few years ago, a Belgian town wanted have pave its main square re-done
in the old style, including the typical blueish Belgian cobblestones.

The project was big enough to require, as per EU law, an international
tender and the cobblestones for the winning bid came from... China. The
Belgian quarries weren't happy at all and the press made a lot of noise
about it.
