Twitter users that happen to be in town are gonna gather up for an informal meetup at the one and only Pulkveža Brieža KID spot.

Last week, I found a free newspaper called “New Riga” in my mailbox. The piece of paper turned out to be a political advertisement, a campaign of LPP/LC party. Run, of course, by Ainars “Who Else Could It Be” Shlesers.
The man is eying a chair of Riga Mayor, which prolly is a good thing. And [...]

Mayn, ain’t nothing real overwhelming happened last night actually.
Maybe I feel like that cause I was shooting hoops over in Pardaugava and missed some of the live action? TV, breaking news type of live action, I mean.

The reporters seemed like nearly enjoying this mess. I don’t know but to me, this whole riot thing doesn’t [...]

The forecasters predicted this to be happening around last night. Major storm is gonna hit Riga, bla bla bla.. It was calm and not even windy at all yesterday. They just got the timing wrong.
Well, with a lil bit of delay, a snowstorm is taking over the area throughout Sunday. I just came over from [...]

Some are sitting through traffic jams during the morning and evening rush hours, others – manage to get over in more free from traffic time. A common issue for all car drivers, as [...]

It’s known around that NO alcoholic beverages of any kind can be purchased in Latvia after 10 PM. Yeah, so what.
If you plan a house party or any kind of event that needs some alcohol shopping, you’ll be at the liquor store way before the party’s about to start. Let me guess usually it’s no [...]

Russia’s 1st Channel produced figure ice skating reality show Ice Age came to rock the Arena Riga crowd this past week-end. As the City traveled way back through ages to freeze down in Ice Age, the fully packed hall warmed the figure skaters with welcome and a stand-up applause. The 10,000 audience was just amazing, [...]

The Road Guide, or Ceļu Gids in Latvian, seems to be pretty nice idea to gather information for drivers in Riga and Latvia, as well as around Baltic States overall.
When I first stumbled upon that site, I noticed official Latvian State Roads web camera information which is live from Jurmala highway. Make sure you check [...]
