Those of you who are looking for a bit of Soviet nostalgia or just some remains from the Soviet Era can go and collect it piece by piece at the Baltic Station Depoo. It's a fantastic mix of God's gifts from various ages, blending the Soviet military memorabilia, dishes, jewelry, tokens, posters, vinyls and lots of other stuff, contemporary big second hand clothes market, cheap Chinese products and hand knitted socks.
If you have a bit of a treasure hunter in you, it is a place that keeps your mind busy and entertained. The place is also full of different street food kiosk, you can have an indie borscht soup at cafe located in the old wagon.
Besides you, it also attracts other kinds of treasure and pleasure hunters; though it is not half as dodgy as it might look at first glance. It is located at the beginning of Kalamaja and Telliskivi, the most hip and, perhaps, already centralized habitation area with excellent bars, studios and great walks between wooden houses.
