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!

Räitsaka (Räitsakas)
Large wet snowflake, moist snow. Part of a bad-weather group. See Halla.
Lee (Lee)
Hearth. Part of a fire, fire-making and fireplace group, see also Lõuka.
Merekalju (Merekalju)
Sea boulder. Maybe this is what you call it when you’re not sure whether it’s an erratic boulder (see Rändrahnu) or one belonging to a blockfield (see Kivikülvi). For other erratic-themed locations, see Mustakivi. But it’s just a former farm name.
Merirahu (Merirahu)
Lit. peace of the sea. Although rahu can also mean reef, which, if Kari is anything to go by, could range from rocks to coral to fish and chips.
