What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.

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 359: U nových domů I

U nových domů I was built in 1935.

‘Nové domy’ are ‘new buildings’ or ‘new houses’. In 1935, the houses around here were indeed new – they had been built by the Ústřední sociální pojišťovna / Central Social Insurance Agency.

That ‘I’ in the name is a sign that I’m going to get quite an easy weekend of it, and probably lose a follower or two in the process.
