I guess based on various publicated pics and reports; I have noticed the same changes and am living in Holland.

I am in the wikimapia mood just now. Only. I have a lot of other information about Pushkin, bit I don´t use in this case. Were is also a forum connection to the map. In this case I don´t either use it.

But I use it for many others maps.

Wikimapia is in many times accurate, but allways check the information.

Were is discussions to move the Pushkins workshops. I understand that some personal are concerned.
