A Street in Bratislava

Description: Made from a photograph I took in September of if I recall correctly 2012 The street is in Bratislava the capital of Slovakia part of the Old Town The Austrians call Bratislava Pressburg or actually Preburg the Magyars call it Pozsony In Latin it is Posonium and in Greek Istropolis which literally means City on the Danube Before WWI the Slovaks called it Preporok In 1918 some politicians wanted to rename it Wilson after the then US president Nothing against President Wilson but Im glad they settled on Bratislava after a noble named Brslav who used to be one of the founders of the city Even the Austrian name came from how the Austrians called its very old name Brslavesburg As a little boy growing up in Bratislava I loved this street and the neighboring streets Most of these streets including this one were empty of people so it was always an adventure to walk through these streets Last time I visited Bratislava so far hopefully was in September of iirc 2012 The streets I loved as a child were now full of tourists from all over the world Ouch Argh Oh well as they say in Vienna kamma nix mochen Can somebody explain why Im writing a lengthy essay at 3 AM Ha Go to bedAdam
