Slope, declivity, and the road does drop down to various docks. Previously known as #Polaari (1923-1939) or #Полярная ул. (Polyarnaya) (1916-) and being next door to #Lume, it is tempting to think of

Tallinn streetsign displaying the name Karjamaa.

View of one of the multiple apartment blocks in Karjamaa, Tallinn, a large 'street' zone of various roads and pathways.

What I suspect to be a Soviet-style mural of the honorable female proletarian worker with babe in arms.

The Karjamaa Lehm (Karjamaa cow) statue in Karjamaa, Tallinn, with bourgeois pigeon profiting from its labor.

Tallinn business (?) displaying the streetname Paavli on its rooftop, and view along the same street in Tallinn in the Kopli direction.

Wide, perhaps 25+ meter, three-storey industrial building completely painted with murals in Paavli, Tallinn.

Inner couryard of the Paavli Kultuurivabrik in Paavli, Tallinn.

Spare parts of future buildings at the Sõle / Angervaksa end of Paavli, Tallinn. Lots of modernization projects in the neighborhood.

Paul, perhaps afirst or family name, perhaps after a one-time local resident but, given that the horrid agnostics across the border defrocked him (1950-1990) in favor of Popovi A, they too might have guessed the saint (feast day 25th January).

#Hundipea (Hundipea)
Wolf’s head. Another #Soviet #decapitation (See also #Hobusepea): the street was renamed #Lume, snow (1958-1991), possibly part of their rewriting of #Estonian history. Hundipea sadam, the sole port in #Karjamaa was renamed as

#Angerja (Angerjas)
Eel, Anguilla anguilla. Probably named after those found in the nearby former marshland of #Kalamäe soo (fish-hill marsh, see #Erika).

* The asterisk (2/5) refers to an error by #AleksanderKivi (1894-1985) who misplaced the marsh in #Kalamaja instead of #Karjamaa and is *not* a criticism – #Karjamaa to #Kalamäe to #Kalamaja… who hasn’t had glitches like this?

#Erika (Erika)
Eerika in 1924, Eeriku in 1921, and Эриковая ул. (Erikovaya St.) in 1916 (KNAB) but already present on #JohannFriedrichEurich’s survey map of #Tallinn (1880-1882), so quite an old name even if absent from TT.

#Lume (Lumi)
Snow. Once know simply as Tänav 2, aka 2-я ул. Also #Soviet Era renaming (1958-1991) of #Hundipea.

#Nõlva (Nõlv): Slope, declivity. Perhaps the one leading down to #Paljassaare docks or up to #HundipeaMägi. Next to #Lume, so its previous names of Polaari (1923-1939), or Полярная ул. (Polyarnaya) (1916-) make sense. So maybe ski slope?

#Tööstuse (Tööstus)
Industry, manufacture; workshop, plant, factory. Located in a former industrial part of Tallinn. Part of this street once known as #Soo.
