Sa sušačke, odnosno lijeve obale Rječine potražite li natpis imena ulice vidjet ćete da se nalazite u ulici Gjure (Đure) Ružića. Dotični je bio primorski Selfmademan, kožarski obrtnik, veleposjednik, tvorničar i kućevlasnik, kulturni djelatnik i politički radnik, gradonačelnik i istaknuti hrvatski rodoljub, rođen u hreljinskom Ružić-selu.

We take you on a tour of the Ružićeva Street, upstream the Rječina River, into the zone of former industrial plants for the production of ice, soap, footwear, leather, rice peeling plant, even mills…
