Time Heralds Riga

To learn a little about the current economic situation of Riga, take a look at this week's Time Magazine feature about the Baltic states. According to my husband (who scrutinizes developments in his native land carefully), Purvis' account is generally accurate. It neglects mentioning, however, the great disparity between the economic success in Riga and the poverty of rural parts of the country. Also between younger and older people.
