Talk:Maria Rosetti

message: Sorry, I had not seen it mentioned in the article, just above, as "A street in central Bucharest, nearby Calea Victoriei, was named in her honor — it constitutes the westward extension of C. A. Rosetti Street."   Now, is that correct?  If memory serves (it's been a while), C. A. Rosetti Street runs all the way westwards to Palace Square, whereas Maria Rosetti Street is the eastward extension of C. A. Rosetti.  Turgidson 06:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you're right. I realized this just before you posted this, and changed it accordingly. Dahn 06:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, I realized it immediately, but I was only 99.9% sure -- it took me quite a while to locate the streets on a map (Google Maps has trouble finding them).  For future reference (just in case any confusion arises),  here is the site that I used to get 100% confirmation.  Not as fancy as Google, but it works.  Turgidson 06:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is an even less fancy one (on the plus side, it takes much less to load). The funny thing is this is what I had used to locate the street (I never actually knew for sure which one it was); however, when I wrote it down here, I had some sort of lapse.

text:  Do you know those streets well?  Lots of good stuff around there.  By the way, before I forget: here is a story about a statue on Maria Rosetti street that may come in handy later on.  While at it, the pic of the statue (taken by Bogdan in 2005, it's on the commons) shows the statue in front of the Theatre. Isn't that info obsolete, as of 2006?  Turgidson 07:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To answer your first question: no, I can't say I do. I bumped into that article myself, and, yes indeed, it's a relevant tidbit. The picture itself is not obsolete - for one, it is a very good picture of the statue itself. It's been months now since I promised I'd get myself a camera and shoot some stuff in Bucharest: the Take Ionescu house, the Take Ionescu statue, the Kogalniceau statue, a better pic of Heliade's statue, and many, many more. Alas, I never did manage to (well, I do have some pictures stored somewhere, but I'm having technical difficulties with them). I'll add this to the list. Dahn 07:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Right next to the new location of the statue of Caragiale, there's a house where Caragiale lived, there's a plaque. I'll go by tonight, so I'll take a picture of the statue at its new location. bogdan 11:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  My comment didn't quite come out the way I wanted:  the picture itself is not obsolete, of course -- just the caption could use an update. And the image quality is very good, indeed.  It would be nice to have a pic from the new location, as well as one with the plaque.  Thanks, Bogdan!  While at it, if I may put another request on your horizon:  it would be nice to have a pic to go with Grădina Icoanei, which is in general neighborhood, basically due North (up from Ioanid Park). Not many landmarks there, but maybe one can catch a good angle?  Turgidson 13:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I took this picture of Biserica Icoanei. bogdan 16:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoa, B! Thanks. That was really impressive. Dahn 18:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text:  Great job!  Thanks, Bogdan.  Turgidson 19:42, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text:  Going back to the initial thread, and at the risk of beating a dead horse:  why say Maria Rosetti street is "nearby Calea Victoriei"?  Of course, it's all relative—viewed from, say, the top of :ro:Vârful Omu, they do appear close by :)  And yes, I would say that the west end of C. A. Rosetti Street (Hotel Lido, Boteanu Church, Bodega, Cina, etc) are close by Victoriei.  But Maria Rosetti? Hmmm, not really...  What says you guys?  Turgidson 19:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was just trying to approximate its location through a major landmark, but I'd have no objection if you decide to remove or replace that part of the phrase. Dahn 19:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Nice pics from Grădina Icoanei!  It looks to me the house is at the (south) entrance, on the left facing towards the park -- is that right?  If so, it may be an embassy -- there are a whole bunch around there, from what I recall -- but I'm not sure. Speaking of which, how about creating a list of embassies in Bucharest, something like List of Washington, D.C. embassies?  (See also :Category:Diplomatic missions by host country).  Having a bunch of good pics of the various embassy buildings would help.  If anyone is interested, I could look into it, but no big promises right now...  Turgidson 17:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yeah, there are many embassies in the area. It can be tricky to take pictures of some of them, especially those of countries often targeted by terrorists (US, UK, Israel), which are heavily guarded.  bogdan 18:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
