Website under construction, many entries missing, no photos with the streets, layout not finalized...
This started with a book (last few pages under review) and only 1473 of the 1884 articles (A to R included) entered so far, so about a quarter 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!
Purging or fairy flax, Linum catharticum, (lit. meadow flax), formerly used for a laxative tea, but inducing vomiting if ingested in large-enough quantities. New street created alongside Hanijala and Kukesaba.
Idea, ideal. Not a very old street name: the word aade was borrowed (and the chance of them returning it is almost nil) from Finnish aate, idea, in 1884. Despite the tarmac, part of a metaphysical street-name group. See Edu.
