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 415: Kykalova

Kykalova was built in 1973.

Remember how we talked about the novelist Antal Stašek (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2026/05/07/prague-4-day-378-antala-staska/)?

Or about his novel, O ševci Matoušovi a jeho přátelích (About the Shoemaker Matouš and His Friends; https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2026/05/13/prague-4-day-381-sevce-matouse/)?

Well, Jakub Kykal is a cottager in that novel – and the lead character, Matouš, falls in love with Kykal’s daughter Růza, although they will not get married. The full-ish plot is in the in previous link.
