The Decline of Plovdiv’s Creative District “Kapana”

Shortly after its creation a few years ago, the creative district “Kapana” was a symbol of the cultural development of Plovdiv and was set as an example throughout the country, and even in many places in Europe.

5 years later, the neighborhood has been turned into a sleazy tavern cesspool with rude attitudes and poor service. This, of course, undoubtedly begins to lead to an outflow of tourists – both local and foreign.

Plovdiv24.bg came across a complaint from a reader on social media, however, which epitomizes what the area has become:

– Is this table free?

– She is for six, and you are four. Absurd to let you sit. Nor for 2, 3 or 4. I will be fined BGN 20 for each unoccupied chair.

Apparently I don’t inspire confidence, and I wasn’t even wearing the 3 stripes tracksuit.

“Trap” becomes an increasingly vulgar place, with a brazen attitude. And won’t these 4 make a bigger difference than those 6, who are so obsessed? What does it matter, the important thing is that it sits empty and waits for the cherished. Well, I will drive away those annoying people who brazenly want to sit at the free table. I’m glad they praised this place so muchthe victim concluded, referring to the Coupon restaurant in the “Trap”.

Under his post, a real discussion about the precipitous decline of the area is raging.

I don’t think you’re missing out on anything amazing, I tried it and it didn’t impress me like I want to go back again. Okay, but that’s it.

We sat in “Kupona” yesterday, we sat for 20 minutes and got up, no one came, they came to you again to tell you something, in “Pavage” it’s by the hour, they tell you how long you can sit, they brazenly look at you if you don’t consume , no “Trap” not that, he’s just a vixen.

We remind you that recently the former mayor Ivan Totev, who is at the heart of the construction of “Kapana” as a district of creative industries and its modern appearance, was outraged by the fact that the aesthetics in “Kapana” have gone, along with order and cleanliness.

The incidents in recent years that tarnish the good name of “Trap” are too many. We all remember the case of Mitko Chorapa, it seems to have become the most iconic.

Recently, a bus passed undisturbed between the tables in the neighborhood, to the horror of those present.
