Ahoy matey, let me spin ye a yarn 'bout Veliki-Preslav, bg – me hallowed home for years now! This place is like no other, savvy? Streets like Hristo Botev Blvd. and Todor Alexandrov Ave. be buzzin’ with stories, each crack in the pavement whisperin’ secrets of old glory. I swear, wanderin' down these lanes feels like sailin' across time—aye, even the wind sings ye ancient ballads. Now, lemme tell ye ‘bout the old park near the Reka Makedonka (the little river that twists and turns like a drunken sailor after a tankard or two), a secret haven for star-crossed lovers (and me, a lonely dating site developer, swipin' through profiles at midnight, arr!). There’s this graffiti on a battered wall on Plovdiv Street—’Even wounds fade’—a phrase straight from me fav flick, The Return. Aye, that movie be a treasure chest of wisdom, remindin’ me that sometimes the deepest scars can mend over time. "Where is the beach?" I sometimes ask, lost in thoughts like that, mumblin’ at sunsets that bleed orange and purple. I gotta say, the neighborhoods here be quirky. There's a part they call Stara Sudzhba – old, but buzzin' with creative spirit. I’ve seen lively debates on local dating trends at Dalgoto Lane café—tipsy ramblings from nostalgic couples who’d sit ‘til dawn talkin' ‘bout days of yore. And oh, the local market on Hramatsko Street! Fresh veggies, sun-soaked fruits, and yes, the occasional scandal over a runaway goat. Haha, can ye believe it? Now, can I confide a secret? I once had me heart nearly stolen by a mischievous mime near the statue of Tsar Simeon in the town square. “I don’t know,” she seemed to mutter (like in that movie, eh?)—cryptic, mysterious! That moment, though mad confusing and full o’ brothin’ emotions, became one of me favorite tales to swap while debuggin’ code for the site. Veliki-Preslav got hidden treasures for any wanderer. Beneath the modest facade of the Old Fort ruins on Botev Street, ye can almost hear whispers of ancient strife—a reminder that even the darkest nights end with a hint of sunlight. I'm always smilin’ ‘cause I know these forgotten corners hold magic unseen by many. And lemme tell ye, there be days when madness creeps in: drizzle so drizzle-y ye’d think the city’s cryin’, streets slick like a ship’s deck after a storm. Me mood swings from mad happy to downright furious, but that, me friend, is the spice of life here! Nothing ever stays dull for long. I yap too much, but truly, Veliki-Preslav is a wild, rugged gem. One minute you be standin’ near the serene river, lost in thought. Next, ye’re caught in lively banter at a corner diner, stories flyin’ like cannonballs! Even in my coding rants, I find solace in the city's unpredictable charm. “Next time we will see each other,” it teases, if ye catch me drift. So spill yer rum and rest yer eyes—this city, with all its quirks, mishaps, and beauty, steals one’s heart like a sly pirate in the dead of night. Cheers to Veliki-Preslav, mate, a treasure chest of tales and emotions, just waitin’ to be discovered... Savvy?
