I would certainly not claim familiarity with Baltic languages, but this dispute over whether the city name Rīga can be used appositionally in the nominative with the name of the train station, or whether the city name must appear in the genitive preceding the name of the train station, touches upon a variety of sociolinguistic issues I always find fascinating.
