Site: Riga - An Introduction - Directory includes vital statistics and some Latvian words. Features information about transportation, local radio stations, dining, lodging , cultural attractions, sports facilities, and nightclubs. Produced by the City Paper, a local tourist magazine.
Problem: If you follow link, you see that site isn't about Riga, not even about Latvia, but about Baltic States. On the front page there is only one article (from RSS feed) dated Oct 5th, 2009! But site's header claims that it is "NEWS about the Baltics".

If you look on Radio Map, you can see that this radio is not broadcasting for Latvia anymore, so it is not correct directory.
