I'm sure this Yambol knife-sharpening service has been here for years, but I only just noticed it and took great interest in the set up. The grinding machine is hooked up to s streetlight and that's where the power comes from. You can see a car in the background, that's the owner's office and there you have it. He waits in his car with the radio waiting for customers with blunt instruments. Now whether this is a legitimate business or not I don’t know, but I just love the improvisation of the business. Again, this is left here as a permanent fixture with no vandalism.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.
