Just read an article in Toronto Star, about an apartment building wall with a huge puzzle in a Ukrainian city Lviv. The story of course is about a puzzle, thirty meters tall - nine stories, the largest puzzle in the World, and should make World Guinness book, it encourages visitors to walk around the city's historic downtown attractions, museums and monuments and write them down and find the solution to the puzzle.
During the day time the puzzle is blank but at night they light up with the answers so tourists and visitors get around and check their knowledge of Lviv. Great marketing & promotional move to attract more tourists but my question is is it Lviv or Lvov, as in Ukrainian language we say going to Lvov-va and not to Lviv-vu. So may be all the western, Russian and Polish mass media are right to write the name of Lvov and not Lviv...
