Beekkant is a Brussels metro station located in the municipality of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, in the western part of Brussels (Belgium). It opened on 8 May 1981 as part of the Sainte-Catherine/Sint-Katelijne–Beekkant extension of former line 1, and was for a year, until 6 October 1982, the western terminus of the metro.

gollark: Bold of you to assume big companies actually have people running support you can access.
gollark: There was the "AACS encryption key controversy" where people encoded it as flags and music and stuff.
