Not only a history of the street names in the tiny, beautifully preserved old Czech town of Cesky Krumlov (the first C- has a hacek and is pronounced ch-), this site has pictures of each street, often side-by-side old and new photos taken from the same vantage point. I wish all old towns and cities had such websites, but it's a good thing they don't, because I'd spend all my time immersed in them. Thanks for this wonderful site go to wood s lot.
(Incidentlly, the town is next to Ceske Budejovice, original home of Budweiser beer—Budejovice=Budweis in German.)

Posted by: Marina at April 15, 2003 02:39 PMHi Marina! I'm not from the CR, but Prague is one of my favorite cities, and I'd love to go back and see more of the country. (By the way, I can't get to your website by clicking on your name; did you type it in correctly?)
Posted by: language hat at April 15, 2003 03:21 PMHey, thanks for this. I spent five extremely happy days in Cesky Krumlov, and had practically forgotten about them until today.
Posted by: PF at April 17, 2003 12:54 AMIt is very beautiful. Did you like it? I want so much to go home and visit.
