Also, southern part of Estonia and northern part of Latvia incl. Riga were part of the Livonian governorate (administrative unit) bet. 1721-1918 with proporationate territories and populations.
This is as close as any two countries can get having historical and cultural ties. So, advocating for some abstract similarities with Scandinavian countries, while ignoring own brothers and sisters living further south because of the successfulness of the Scandinavian countries is narrow-mindness of some people to say the least.

our Highways are better, but that's just because they are real highways and not just some slightly bigger streets labeled as highways.
the rest is basically the same shit.
this is what a little village looks like - http://youtu.be/p9BMqXp5L4Q

and I'm afraid to say it's exactly the same story in Estonia(old buildings, some renovated, some not;;; and ugly soviet blocks) even if they don't like to admit it.

The name implies the connection.
Baltic is not the connection. Livonia is. Baltic-Finnic is. Aestii is.
If you want connection close to the name of baltic, try Valga/Valka.
Valg+ala = flow area, watershed, tributary
Baltic Sea = Flow (area) Sea = Baltic Ice (dammed) Lake
