@AlphaTravel: I can tell you why Riga got destroyed: Too small of a city, too many tourists and a wrong kind of reputation. Whenever you ask some Western European guy getting married for easy and cheap women, he'll probably suggest a trip to Riga or Prague.
Same counts for Tallinn but those tourists are restricted to a certain area and 2-3 bars.. Plus there are actually people who go to Tallinn to see the old town and its surroundings, same counts for Prague but certainly not for quite ugly Riga.
Also, Latvians or should I rather Russian Latvians seem to have less of a problem to take over the capital with bars solely designed to rip foreigners off.
