10/16/2004: Rainbow-colored Albanian building

Why wouldn't they just create street names, put signs up?

Thusly:
415 Rainbow Building, Tirana Ave
Tirana, Albania

I wondered the same thing. You would think a sign would be cheaper than painting a building. BUt then I realized that if it was a nation-wide problem, it probably overwhelms the government.

I wonder how they got into that situation. Street names are not a modern invention. Centuries old maps of London include street names. Surely there must have been street names at some point in the history of Albania. Did the isolationist government of the last 50 years abolish the old names? Did they just neglect to name new construction? Curious.
