Agenskalns Casino

Casino in Agenskalns
I always feel sorry, when I write about casinos, especially which are built in a very poor areas of the city.
Estonian company Casino Olympic has a low of slot machines around the town, some of them has title Lounge, and some of them has Optibet representative, the only Latvian totalizator company.
Have you ever put a bet on sport?

Pērses iela

Perses iela
Pērses iela (Peer/Lord Street) is quite short and narrow street between Kr. Barona and A. Caka streets.
It is infamous among Estonian-speaking people because of funny name interpretation.
Is there any reader who speaks and writes Estonian? Please write your comment :)
