Parts of Tallinn looked quite different before the Soviets bombed the city in 1944. The Kalev sports stadium is no longer at its original site near the New Market; the Viru Keskus stands in its place today. Many houses were bombed in that area, including my great uncle's house in Gonsiori Street. That street was actually shifted after the bombing when efforts were made to rebuild the city. The road where Gonsiori street is located today is not the exact spot where it stood prior to 1944. My great-uncle's house was probably located where the Tallink Hotel stands today.
