There doesn't seem to be much about the town or area available for me to learn. My maiden name is Pezdirc. My Great Grandfather who's name is Anton Pezdirc, came to America in the very late 1890's. The information I have been able to acquire indicates that he left Drazice. Any insight or sharing would be very appreciated. Sincerely, C.

It's so nice that you feel this affinitely to the former-yugo countries. I myself was born in America but my father was Serbian and my mother's family is Croatian. My mother was born in the US as well. Her parents moved before Yugoslavia and my father moved in 1973 while it was still Yugoslavia. I still have lots of family over there on my dad's side, mostly in Bosnia and some live in Croatia and I just love being there. I wish I could travel more often than I do. It's great you've seen so much of the countries. I look forward to subscribing to your blog and hearing about your adventures over there. Sasha Grubor Hi Justin,

Dej poglej mal kolizej in okolico. Ta stvar je že bila ubita in to zdavnaj. Izgleda da so jo odpisali že ko so pozidali okoliške stavbe ker so ji vzeli prostor v katerem bi dihala. Kolizej in njegovo funkcionalno (če temu sploh lahko tako rečemo) zemljišče je slepo črevo becirka v katerem stoji. Pa nima s tem pogledom "gnili kapitalizem" nič opravka. To področje je enostavno blokirano zaradi kolizeja, kar kaže na to da je bil odpisan že takrat ko se je ljubljana razširila do njega. Življenje enostavno ne teče v tem koncu mesta, tako kto bi lahko. Mislim da je najbolj fer da tej umirajoči živali dajo milostni strel. Stavba ni ne lepa, ne funkcionalna, niti ni bila prav kvalitetno zgrajena. Pri teh jamrih bi bilo dobro da ni samo nekaj na splošno - če je nekdo tako zagrizeno prijateljski pri ohranjanju nečesa kar je skozi čas kljub naseljenosti stavbe taako klavrnoi propadalo, bi bilo fino da potem predstavi kako revitalizirati prostor in kako spraviti v funkcijo to stavbo. Ker obnova in vrnitev v originalno stanje sta neumnost. To pomeni skupna stranišča stanovanja ki za današnji standard niso vredna človeka (pa že ob izgradnji ni bilo kaj posebvnega). Stavba pa stoji na elitni lokaciji, vložiti bi bilo treba veliko sredstev zato, da nihče ne bi hotel iti živeti v to skrpucalo. Joj kakšen sentimentalističen jamer!!!
