#Suur-Laagri (Suur-Laager)
Big-camp. Street named after a former (?) military camp located there. Since the street was first named in 1908, it may well have been a #Tsarist Army camp, close to the then ‘Patarei’ marine fortress (see #SuurPatarei). Street joined at the hip by its cadet, #VäikeLaagri.
