INSPIRED BY:
Stop #9: Park and Klingle Roads, NW
Czech Row
(from the guide): Park & Klingle Road NW: following the 1948 communist coup in Czechoslovakia, an enclave known as "Czech Row" developed in the 2000 block of Park Road. American Sokol, an offshoot of Czech fitness movement, offered activities for all neighborhood children. Sokol had particular meaning for Czech expats as it was banned in Czechoslovakia during both the Nazi and coummunist eras."
Sokol is the slavic word for falcon.
