Baltic Exchange

This article is pretty cool, apparently they are moving the historic Baltic Exchange that was destroyed by an IRA bombing from London to Tallinn. The building was taken apart piece by piece and will be put back together along with a lot of new construction somewhere in downtown Tallinn. Nice to see that someone cares about this historic place enough to do this.

Not good

Yikes, watching the footage of what is going on in Tallinn I have to say that things don't look good. Hopefully things don't get any more out of hand than they already are.

Watching drunken young men trash downtown Tallinn won't do much to convince moderate Estonians that moving the monument is a bad idea. Let's just hope this whole process moves quickly.

Valli Baar

I just read that Valli Baar has been placed under heritage protection meaning that Millimallikas will continue to be served for generations to come. Awesome.

Kaliningrad vs. Tallinn

The Russian First Minister Ivanov is calling for Russians to stop buying Estonian products (but he's not calling for a boycott) and asking them to stop visiting Estonia and go to Kaliningrad instead? Where would you rather go?
