What's in a Prague street name

Originally published on Twitter on 27 April 2022, when I’d just tested positive for COVID. This may get mentioned a couple of times.

‘Na vrcholu’, built in 1962, means ‘at the top’. You would think this was the top of something quite momentous. But it seems it’s just at the top of Koněvova.

This isn’t really bringing the goods. However, Google did decide ‘na vrcholu praha 3’ should take me to http://sputnici.cz/Uvod/, the delightful website of Sputnici, a Vinohrady rock ’n’ roll band which was active from 1959 to 1963.

So that’s a nice little rabbit hole to go down later. Also, the wall which includes the ‘Na vrcholu’ street sign is pretty awesome.
