Místní Místním – the NGO that Provides Small Services to People in Need

Místní místním is an NGO that connects local businesses into a network that provides small services to people in need, free of charge. Prague Morning spoke to two members of the organization. The main focus of Místní místním is the creation of a “Solidarity Network” of local businesses that help, support, and empower those in need, such as people without a home or the people with lower income, through providing services including free Wi-Fi, free water, free food, and free entertainment. Místní místním’s “Solidarity Network” currently consists of 23 places, covering 8 Prague districts. The network includes multiple cafés, restaurants, community centers, two second-hand shops, two libraries, and a theater. Those in need are free to come and are then provided services, as much as each of the places is able or willing to give. “Once we get in touch with a new local business and include them in our network, we try to make sure that they are fine with the values of our organization, which are respect, communication, and inclusion,” says Ester Pacltová, one of the founders of Místní místním. “We don’t discriminate against anyone.” Indeed, Místní místním wants to break the barriers of communication between those in need and...

Prague to Host Re-Enactment of Charles Bridge Foundation Ceremony

The Charles Bridge Museum in Prague will mark the 666th anniversary of the foundation of the Charles Bridge on July 9 (Sunday). All of them will take place in the early morning and are free of charge. At 5:00 a.m., there will be a historical costume procession with the King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV and his wife. A medieval procession of knights on horseback, musicians, entertainers, city officials, and other entourage members will march from the Lesser Town to the Old Town Bridge Tower. At 5:31, on Křížovnické náměstí Square, a reenactment of the ceremony laying the first stone of the Charles Bridge will begin. It was on this day, at this hour and minute in 1357, that the emperor gave the start to the construction of the bridge. Interestingly enough, the date July 9 and the time 5:31 were chosen on the advice of astrologers who, according to the location of the planets, considered it most favorable for the beginning of construction. In the middle of the 20th century, Czech astronomer Zdeněk Gorsky hypothesized that the date and time were chosen not only because of the favorable horoscope but also because of the magic of...

How to Instantly Identify a Prague Tram or Bus with Air Conditioning

The summer heat is picking up in Prague, making trips on public ground transportation quite challenging. For those who struggle with hot and stuffy conditions, the city’s transportation authorities have provided a visual guide to identifying trams equipped with air conditioning. All trams of the Škoda 15T4 model come with an onboard climate control system. They can be easily recognized by the presence of yellow plastic inserts in the front section. Currently, there are 127 of these air-conditioned trams operating on Prague’s streets. Air conditioning is a standard feature in these trams. On the other hand, trams of the earlier Škoda 15T model have air conditioning only in the driver’s cabin, while the passenger compartment lacks this amenity. The front section of these trams is designed in gray and red colors and does not include the yellow inserts. However, there is an exception – two gray Škoda 15T trams do have air conditioning in the passenger compartment (they were installed as an experiment). These trams can be identified by their registration numbers 9243 and 9285, which are displayed on the front section of the tram. Another way to find out in advance when a tram or bus with air conditioning...

Prague 3 District Launches “Out With Your Dog? Only With a Bag!” Campaign

A new initiative has been launched in Prague 3 to address the issue of dog waste left on public streets. The campaign, known as “Out with your dog? Only with a bag!” aims to encourage dog owners to clean up after their pets and tackle the lack of access to bags and bins. Prague 3 allocated 2.4 million CZK last year to provide unique bags and bins specifically designed for dog waste. Despite this investment, some dog owners still neglect to pick up after their pets, resulting in pollution and inconvenience for other members of the community. In response, Prague 3 has introduced this new “Ven se psíkem? Jen s pytlíkem!” campaign. To facilitate responsible dog ownership, the district has installed over 320 stands equipped with bags for dog waste. These stands are regularly replenished with 50,000 bags each week. The central message of the campaign emphasizes that cleanliness is a shared responsibility, placing the onus on individual dog owners to act responsibly. The bags are conveniently accessible at several locations, including the district’s information center, cultural center, and town hall. The campaign is spearheaded by Michal Vronský, the mayor of Prague 3 and a dog owner himself. Vronský highlights...
