Maskavas rajons (neighbourhood)

Even though very run down, Maskavs forštate (area in Riga) can have its interesting distinct features.

Enchanced old and new

So the spring is here with sun that not only melts the last remains of snow, but also enchances colours of new and old.

Maskavas str. 121b

In the middle of 19th century this market place was outside city's administrative territory. Merchants traded firewood, hay, horses and other fiddle-faddle here, avoiding dues. History should repeat itself.
