Three shops in Old Town within one block of one another.
While you are there, be sure to visit the National Museum of Science and
Technology on the hills overlooking the city. In addition to a few actual
planes and vehicles, it houses probably the largest collection of
scratchbuilt aircraft models in the world (that is unless one doesn't count
the a/c of Frank Mitchell, Johnny Fickling and Bill Bosworth). IIRC they
are about 1/32 scale.

That's very cool, Art, but also check out the air museum at Kbely. Take
the bus #280 or #259 from the Vysocanska metro station. You don't see a
big sign, but you need to get off at the Letecke Muzeum stop. Free
admission and access to the hangars where there are volunteers; I found
what worked best was to follow a volunteer around.
Prague has a lot of FUN stuff.

Yup!: http://www.praguecallgirls.com/
I found this info on where to go:
"Most of the street walkers work in an area just east of the Tesco
department store. From Wenceslas square head to the end away from the
museum past the turn right at the Prague tourist center and it starts
about 100 yards from there."
I imagine following them around works fairly well also. ;-)
