Staadioni (Staadion)
Stadium. After the once Komsomol now Kalevi Staadion or Keskstaadion. First known as Neue Kirchhofstraße (new churchyard, 1913), Новая Кладбищенская ул. (new cemetery, 1916), Surnuaia (death garden, 1921) (see Kalmistu), followed by Uus-Kirikuaia, new churchyard (1923-1936), Friedhofstraße, graveyard street (1942) then Kalmistu again (1938-1955) after the Siselinna Kalmistu close to Toonela.
Toonela (Toonela)
Realm of the dead, exact location uncertain. Toone is either ‘ancestor’ or ‘realm of the dead’, too. In fact, this street leads SW to Tallinn’s cemetery area, bounded by Filtri, Magasini and Herne. Clockwise (sorta) from Toonela there are: Siselinna Kalmistu, the city (lit. ‘within-the-city’) cemetery, divided into Aleksander Nevski (W) and Kaarli (E) cemeteries, due S is the Kaitseväe (Defence Forces) cemetery with its Pronkssõdur (bronze soldier) statue of the Soviet soldier died fighting in Estonia. SW of that there used to be (all dates unchecked) a Muslim cemetery, with the rather inept German designation of Mohamed. Kirchhof, or Mohammedan Churchyard. Further west was an old Jewish cemetery in the fork at the southern end of Magasini and, lastly, NW is the location of the former Catholic cemetery, due W of a street once known as Surnuaia with all its attendant variations that you can read about here: Staadioni.
Veskimetsa (Veskimets) 
Mill woods, woods near/by the mill. Host to a a wind-themed group. See Veskimäe.
Tuuliku (Tuulik)
Windmill. At 4c, there’s an Arvutimuuseum, or computer museum. For those still blissfully unaware of the changes reshaping the world, think on this: you use computers, Estonia has a computer museum… One of a wind-themed group. See Veskilise.
