Ostrorog Street.

When we first lived here, there was a small street we really enjoyed walking down. It was actually a street off a main street. Most of the houses were old, and so the bushes had grown so much that you almost couldn't see them. The main street was Ostroroga, and the little street, Zakret.  

The historic Ostroróg was designed by the city architect Władysław Czarnecki in the late 1920s. He designed the area in the form of a wedge between Grochowska and Marcelinska streets.

There is one part of the area that has a block apartment complex named for Jan Ortrorog.

Jan Ostroróg (born 1565, died in June 1622 in the Komarno estate ) – voivode of Poznań in the years 1610–1621, castellan of Poznań in the years 1600–1609, cup-bearer of the Crown in 1588, cup-bearer of the Crown in 1580, marshal of the Main Crown Tribunal in 1600 [ 1 ] , starost of Malbork, Garwolin , Koło [ 2 ] , Polish writer- memoirist, naturalist.

I walked up and down several streets, taking pictures that are on my. When I returned home, I showed Joan the pictures of the houses.
