The Cellar - View Single Post - 10/16/2004: Rainbow-colored Albanian building

From the article: The government has recently adopted a bill calling for streets to be named as soon as possible but somehow the process has become mired in ideological disputes.

I was referring to "Why don't they just create street names?" Sorry about that. As to how it happened in the first place, well, Albania was incredibly isolated for the longest time, so I suspect that naming streets just wasn't a priority or necessity to their leaders.

Here's a BBC article on Tirana Mayor Edi Rama that touches on the painting of city buildings.
