"B"as in Breukelen, the Netherlands.
FYI: Brooklyn (NY) is named after this Dutch village...
The history of European settlement in Brooklyn spans more than 350 years. The settlement began in the 17th century as the small Dutch founded town of "Breuckelen" on the East River shore of Long Island.

On my way home from work this afternoon..."D" as in De Meern the Netherlands.
FYI:
Not far from the centre of De Meern during the Roman times an encampment (castellum) was built.
The Rhine was the Northern Border of the Roman Empire, and there were several Castella across the borderline. In De Meern, not only a complete Castellum has been found, but also several ships, roads, pottery and currency have been found. Most of these items (especially the big items) have been put back into the ground for perfect preservation, since the riverclay prevents them from rotting (it hardly lets oxygen through).
