Street names

Urban etymology: Kogălniceanu, Eliberării, Tomis. The streets say who renamed the city after 1878, 1944, 1989. A note, not a treatise. It is a key for reading a blue plaque.

Constanța

Tomis, Ovidiu, Eliberării, the port. Layers of names: ancient, royal, postwar, after 1989.

Tulcea

Independenței, the port, the hill. 1878 reads as clearly on a street plaque as on a monument.

Villages

A single road, a hero's name, a school. We do not mock them. They are an archive in plain sight.

How you use it

Read the plaque. Look the person up in the personalities guide if they are there.
