Dear neighbors,
If you live in tall buildings in Braće Domany Street and in the broader area comprising Srednjaci, Jarun, and Knežija, we kindly invite you to share with us memories from your neighborhood! If you want your memories to be recorded as part of the virtual collection, we invite you to bring them and help us further build the neighborhood museum that will give value to stories that are not part of the official history. If you do not own a tangible item, but you live (or you used to live) in one of the tall buildings in Braće Domany Street and you wish to share with us your experience of living there, we kindly invite you to visit us and talk about it!
