    It is nice when you can go to a place that is reviving. It makes the occasion even more special, when you have in mind little less than a hundred years of history. Since its very establishment, Влайкова (Vlaikova) is a place of social importance. It is named after Maria Vlaikova – a generous lady contributed for the realization of the building and its purpose. This happened around the year 1926 and ever since at least 5 generations have passed though it which is huge!

    With time Vlaikova has been there like an inherent part of the city and a collective memory of ours. Some know it as a community centre (читалище ha), others as a cinema but now Vlaikova is speeding up. The cinema is still there but the whole building flashes a new ВЛКВ light – the one painted by the colors of diligence, pure thought, youth modernity and old architecture. There is a smell as well, reminding us of newly painted bathrooms allowing for multiple activities like art installations, happenings and fun as all around the place. Isn’t this a clear signal for a concept? Like ZOOFIA exhibition – a perfect opening for the new history of this place and the city itself.

    And the bar offers drinks and the nice people are there.  Plus, the music set is carefully selected. We should now make a group indulgence into good time and sweet talks. ye ye

    Find ВЛКВ Club (enjoy Cyrillic) on 11 Tsar Ivan Asen II.
