Why the central promenade of the city is popularly called the Hundred is not known for certain. The most popular version says that this is due to the street length of a hundred meters. But given that the length of Cathedral Street is about 500 meters, this version does not sound very plausible.
Another version connects the name of the Hundred with the Cossack administrative geography of Sumy. One of the "hundreds" at that time was located in the regimental office. “Go to a hundred” meant to go to the center of Sumy, to the government of a hundred.
Another local attraction is ...a "migrating" puddle on Sobornaya Street. Why "migratory"? Because no matter how hard you try to move the tiles and level the path, a huge puddle always comes back, changing only its location. But this attraction effectively reflects the Transfiguration Cathedral and sparrows are very fond of swimming.
Another free attraction awaits you on Sobornaya near the Shevchenko monument (just take a roll or grain with you). Yes, our little San Marco is here. There are a lot of pigeons here, they are all fattened and tamed, so be careful - the birds can trample you in the battle for food! : )
