Welcome to Continuous in the Prague Scarecrow!
You are standing right in the middle of one of the most important roads in this part of Prague - the street that connects in Olšiny with Švehlová and creates a living artery not only for the local population but also for the whole region. Look around you - you see a typical Prague development that has been transformed here for centuries. Older tenement houses stand next to modern panel settlements, and in the background there are traces of former industry that remind us of how this area evolved. The street is now an important artery not only for cars, but also for trams that connect Strašnice to neighbouring runners.
Let's move back in time to understand how this site has become what we know today. In 1922 there was a major break - Old Strašnice were connected to the Great Prague, and with this began their rapid urbanization. Around the 1930s, residential houses began to be built here, but industry was also developing. What you see today is a mixture of both these worlds - dwellings and production halls that give the street its unique character.
Now pay attention to the building itself. Look at the facade of the houses surrounding you. Some of them are typical of interwar architecture, with their classical elements and symmetrical facades. Notice how different epochs mix here - from older family houses to modern houses. And it is among them that there are traces of an industrial past that give the street its specific atmosphere.
One of the most interesting places is the descriptive number 387 / 41, where the factory used to stand. It was originally used as wine cellars, but later there were important products - masks, fire extinguishers or Titan-brand breathing appliances. This factory was an important workplace that contributed to the development of the area. Near the number 180, the building of the former Pereles and Cologne factory, which specializes in the production of aniline colours. These businesses were once the heart of industrial life on the street and still remind us how important Průběžná played in the economy of the region.
And now let's look at one of the most interesting historical personalities associated with this place - Václav Horák. Although his story is not directly related to the Continuous, his name is often mentioned in this part of Prague, and it is here that various layers of history meet, which have affected the life of local residents.
Now, let me draw your attention to one interesting thing that may surprise you. Even though the street looks like common urban communication today, it hides many stories. For example, during the 2014 reconstruction, the tram line has been modernized, which has been there since the industrial development. So what you see today is the result of many years of development - from cellars to factories to the current transport artery.
Take another look before leaving. Průběžná is not only a street, but a living document of history - as people, buildings, and functions of places have taken turns. If you have time, go around and discover other hidden stories that hide in this part of Prague. Whether you choose to take a walk in the Strašnice or move on, I hope this street has brought you not only new knowledge, but also a sense of how beautifully the past and present can intersect.

For kids
Imagine going back to when Praha wasn't the metropolis we know today. Instead, it was a small village with several hundred inhabitants. And in this part of Prague, where today is Průběžná Street, there lived one of the most important townspeople.
It was like a game where these people built a house with a high shield and a beautiful garden. The house was called Svehla, and its owner, Mr. Svehla, was a wealthy businessman who was interested in art and music. Mr. Svehla even played the violin himself!
