Re: [Cz-L] Chonte

  Hedwig,
  I didnt know that Hurmusaky street was used for soliciting.
   Thinking about it - I couldnt find a better choice.
    After making the Hauptstrasse's steepest climb,
    while catching his breath near Paraskiva , the unsuspecting
     weary traveller was easy prey for any amateur Chonte .
      From here to the Musikverein was a short dist..
