Finishing Скопје

Posted by tmtm on 16 December 2007 in English.

I've done about as much as I can do of Скопје for now, beyond just more tracing of the imagery. All the Bulevards are filled in around the central area, and most of the other roads and streets are marked on the journey between where I lived and the centre. I was able to get some of the road names that I wasn't sure of by searching for landmarks along them that I remember (embassies, major shops, etc). I've entered most names as English transliterations (I wanted to use name:en and name:mk for some of them but couldn't work out the magic incantations required in Potlatch to do that). Most of the streets signs are only in Cyrillic, and transliterations aren't always the same everywhere, so if there's a more "official" English version of anything, someone can change them later. There are quite a few of streets named after important dates in the country's history: 9 May, 20 October etc. These I translated directly, rather than just transliterating ("9 Maj" "20 Oktomvri").
