The Prague Post

It seems like forever ago, but this week is the 20th anniversary of the Prague floods... how time flies!

It was 20 years ago this week that Prague was dealing with the aftermath of a massive flood that submerged most of the city. We were producing ThinkTv around that time and one of our producers licensed some images that we ended up never using, so I thought I would share them here.... how time flies!

An amazing discovery to enjoy today in Ukraine, an August 24th, 1994, unread copy of the Prague Post newspaper in mint condition, a real blast from the past with an interesting article about John Bruce Showmaker getting evicted from Obecni Dum, the possibility of RFE moving to Prague and a promise to the end of sleaze in street advertising!

Enjoy a meal or a coffee at Café AdAstra and support a good cause! 🙏

For 15 years, Veronika Musilová Náměstková has been supporting handicapped children through the non-profit organisation Zajíček na koni

At Café AdAstra, the youthful employees are able to work on tasks that they can confidently and happily manage, under caring and supportive supervision.

Unfortunately, however, the café is struggling with lack of business and may have to shut down soon. There is a high risk that after Christmas, the handicapped employees working in the café won’t have a job to return to. In order to prevent this from happening, the café is in desperate need of more customers. “An increase of just 30 people a day would be enormous for us and would save our café,” Veronika states in her Facebook post promoting the café, “Please help us to save something that means everything to our young and vulnerable employees!”

[Pictured below is Maruška, 26-year-old employee of Café AdAstra and sister of Veronika. Maruška has Down’s Syndrome and Autism, and works in the café every Tuesday before noon.]
