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.

Teaduspargi (Teaduspark)

Science park or cluster. The park in question being the Tallinn Technology Park, Tallinna Tehnoloogiapark.

Tasuja (Tasuja)

The Avenger, published 1880. Probably if not certainly Estonia’s most-read historical novel, major influence in both shaping and invigorating national identity, and contributing driving-force in Estonian independence such as the 1919 Battle of Cēsis (Battle of Võnnu for Estonians) or during WWII against the Germans. Begun when author Bornhöhe E. was a 17-year-old teacher. See also Tambeti.

Tasandi (Tasand)

Plane, level, another street close to Jalami, under construction (2025) off Astangu. Also synonym of ekvalaiser, or equalizer.

Tartu (Tartu)

University town in southern central Estonia, settled since 5^th C CE, known previously as Dorpat, Tharbata, Yuryev. Ruled by the Poles in the 16^th century, the city received its red and white flag from Stephen Bathory (István Báthory), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, one-time Prince of Transylvania, and uncle of Erzsébet Báthory, sometimes known as Countess Dracula for her extremely questionable employment of girls whose blood was said to provide her with eternal youth (possibly, like France’s Gilles de Rais, framed for financial reasons). Happily, Tartoons are given to gentler occupations such as grammar.
