The demolition of the Kuuse Street school building fueled passions in the council
At Friday’s Haapsalu city council meeting, the city government’s desire to demolish the school building on Kuuse street this summer caused controversy. However, according to the commissioners, the school building has great emotional value for many people and the city should have a plan for what to do with the lot, and it was also hoped that something could be done with the existing building.
Nelli Differt – the pearl of Haapsalu
Haapsalu is the White Lady, Haapsalu is the Rook, and now a new gem has risen next to them – fencer Nelli Differt. Years ago, when Differt was dealing with a leg injury that interfered with his pursuit of the top of the world, the fencer said he was going to the Olympics anyway. It went. Nelli’s performance at Paris OM attracted the hearts of many Estonians. It went as it went, but this July 27 was okay even for the most indifferent Estonians.
It’s the fall of voting in America
America’s 2024 general election has been in full swing for quite some time now. It varies by state, with people in Minnesota and South Dakota being the first to be able to vote early – 46 days before Election Day, November 5th. By Friday morning, Estonian time, 31 million Americans had cast their votes all over the country, either by mail or by going in person to the polling stations open for advance voting.

Interview with Haapsalu City Council Member, Anna Mägi, on the Controversial Demolition of Kuuse Street School Building
Editor: Thank you, Anna, for joining us today. The recent city council meeting sparked significant debate regarding the demolition of the Kuuse Street school building. Can you share your perspective on why this building is so important to the community?
Anna Mägi: Thank you for having me. The Kuuse Street school has been a central part of our community for many years. For many residents, it isn’t just a building – it’s a piece of our history. Many of us attended school there, formed lifelong friendships, and created cherished memories. The emotional connection is profound, and that’s why we felt it was essential to discuss alternatives to demolition.
Editor: What specific concerns were raised during the council meeting about the demolition?
Anna Mägi: Several council members voiced concerns regarding the lack of a comprehensive plan for the site if the building is demolished. People have suggested potential uses for the existing structure instead of tearing it down. Some ideas included converting it into a community center or a space for local events, which could preserve its historical significance while serving current needs.
Editor: Did the council discuss any preservation measures or alternatives to demolition?
Anna Mägi: Yes, we did. There was a strong consensus that we need to explore all options before making a final decision. Some members proposed establishing a committee to investigate preservation possibilities, including grants for renovation or collaborating with local historians to maintain the school’s heritage.
Editor: What’s the next step for the council regarding this building?
Anna Mägi: The next step is to gather more public input and ideas from residents. We plan to host a community forum where people can share their thoughts and visions for both the school building and the lot. It’s crucial that this decision reflects the voice of our community.
Editor: Thank you, Anna, for your insights. It’s clear that this issue is deeply important to many residents of Haapsalu. We’ll keep following this story.
Anna Mägi: Thank you! I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this matter, and I look forward to what the community will share in the upcoming forum.
