1950sFutak Street
A Tram and Loaded Carts at the Futog Street Market
A tram stands on the rails with its bow collector up while a cyclist rides along the track toward it, and a horse pulls a cart straight at the camera down the cobbles. Along the right-hand side wagons and carts are drawn up in a line, bicycles leaning against them and people standing among the goods, under big trees and a two-storey house with shops on its ground floor. The market has taken over the roadway of the road that runs west out of the city toward Futog.
About this place
Futoška street is the old road running west out of Novi Sad toward Futog, the settlement some 7 km away that Hungarian sources call Futak and German ones Alt-Futok. It was once a single long street reaching from the town centre out to the Futog road, and its inner end became Jevrejska street when the boulevard now called Bulevar Mihajla Pupina was cut through; in the 1930s the whole length, Jevrejska included, was renamed for King Peter II. The building at Futoška 17, put up in 1912 as a Hungarian gymnasium, still stands and houses the Mihajlo Pupin electrical engineering school. The Futoška market on the street remains one of the busiest in the city.
