I could talk about myself for ages, or I could point out that https://english.radio.cz/ed-ley-englishman-recording-stories-pragues-streets-one-one-8806941 is over two years old but still largely stands (other than the Twitter links).

Prague 4, day 231: Na vinohradu

Na vinohradu was built in 1911.

Until 1947, the street was called Příčná, which translates as ‘transverse’, and of which there is still one in the New Town: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/09/15/prague-1-day-119-pricna/.

Na vinohradu, meanwhile is so called because it’s in the same former vineyard territory as https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/11/13/prague-4-day-228-pod-vinohradem/.
