Website under construction, many entries missing, no photos with the streets yet, layout not finalized...
This started with a book (last few pages under review) and so far 1533 of the 1884 articles (A to R included) entered so far, so some 20% of the links go nowhere.
The Book
All author earnings of A Rambling Dictionary of Tallinn Street Names to be donated to the foundation or donate here.
If anyone could help or advise as to the legal mechanism, it would be appreciated, thanks!
The Website
Not intended at the beginning, the present website is taking on a life of its own, with plans for relevant discussion forums, picture galleries and, over time, more non-streetname entries.
In theory, it will be funded by advertising relevant to people in Tallinn, to be determined.
A percentage of profits (also to be determined) to be donated to the foundation.
Contact
Apparently, a company that uses its owner's name is considered more trustworthy because they put themselves on the line.
This is me, in Tallinn this spring (2025), on a 3-month spree to check details, take photos (about 12K), explore (ave. 15K/day), and so on. I think I covered every street in Kesklinn (apart from Mõigu), most of Põhja-Tallinn and some Kristiine.
For information, please contact Simon at this address dot com, thanks!
Sport, athletics, exercise. Named in 1955(?) for a planned sportsground nearby. Today, the area is better known for the sporting facilities on the other side of the (railway) track, e.g. the A. Le Coq, Sportland and Nike stadia., etc.
Raspberry. The word seems to have originated by taking the ‘Va‑’ and ‘r’ from Vabarna and adding the ‑ikas ending common in berries. One of a group of berry streets in Lilleküla Sub-district. See also Kirsi.
