Coincidence or ... ?

From a website:
Au 5 rue Charles Deemer dans le Nord de Bruxelles, un bâtiment en briques rouges attire le regard. Au fond d’une petite cour, une pancarte : « Cours Florent ». Depuis novembre 2013, la célèbre école de théâtre parisienne exerce son art au cœur de la capitale européenne. « Il y a à Bruxelles une proposition artistique très importante », explique le directeur du Cours Frédéric Montfort, « et je crois que nous avions vraiment notre place ici ». (Reference)
Which Google translates as
 At 5 rue Charles Deemer in the north of Brussels, a red brick building catches the eye. At the bottom of a small courtyard, a sign: "Cours Florent". Since November 2013, the famous Parisian theater school has been working in the heart of the European capital. "There is a very important artistic proposal in Brussels," explains course director Frédéric Montfort, "and I think we really had our place here".
OK, so there is a Charles Deemer Street on which is a "famous Parisian theater school" ... so how many CDs in theater are there in the world, and if this is yours truly, why in hell is a street named after me in Brussels? It's likely my hyperdrama reputation is active there, as it is in small theater scenes throughout Europe, and maybe this is a connection. But it is quite baffling.

PS OK, if this actually is yours truly, then what we have is a situation where I get a street named after me in Brussels but can't get the time of day in Portland any more. A perfect summary of my career.
