It was a different experience for me to come to Kastamonu after many years as a host rather than a guest and to look at the city with a receptive eye.Don't get me wrong when you say buyer.I don't see it, to get a share of the concrete invasion that has invaded the city.The prices have already gone up.Do not object immediately, okay?“They come from Istanbul with a population of 20 million, and even if the stone cracks, you find fault with our city of 150 thousand people”.May God give more to land owners and contractors.However, there is no harm in paying a little attention to the words of an eye who returns to the city after a 31-year hiatus.After all, we don't live in space.We know what's going on in the country.What could be more natural than the political and economic developments that marked the last 20 years of the country?Still, “were the cable car poles planted like daggers on the side of the city very necessary?”I can't help but ask.The cable car isn't a bad thing, but it should have been built to get somewhere.When you build a cable car between 2 hills, the question will come: How do we get to the top?Answer: On foot.They must not have given much thought to such a pointless cable car project.The idea of ​​​​the cable car remained only the cable car poles.From Hüsamettin Çoban to Candaroğlu İsmail Bey, the ancestors who decorated this city with elegant minaret mosques must not be at peace in their graves with these pillars that come to the minarets as sand.It is impossible not to see the pillars, but when you look at the silhouette of Kastamonu from İsmail Bey Mosque, you sense an additional strangeness.The castle is in its place, but a huge specter almost competing with the castle blocked the way to the city.You say there must be a mistake in this.After Alanya Castle, he came to his castle with the largest natural infrastructure in Anatolia!I think of Miami, where I took the city bus for 1.5 hours to go to the mall.By the way, the Americans call the shopping mall MALL just like the people of Kastamonu.But since their intelligence is not as good as ours, they don't build their MALL in the middle of the city.“Are MALLs in Istanbul or Ankara too far from the city?”You may rightly ask.I say "not".We are the descendants of a generation that even built shopping malls on Istiklal Street.However, I am not satisfied with the MALL or the shopping mall, which spoils not only the silhouette of this city but also the shopping tradition.I don't think that the past elders who have worked for this city will give halal to those who do and turn a blind eye to it.We had also watched the fight over the development of the Botanic Park from the press.You know, the auction was held behind locked doors.I don't know if the houses were built, sold or finished in the park, but I have trouble understanding the sites nestled in the forest.How long has it been possible to build a house in the forest?When, how and with what right was it possible to build a house on the side of the forest of this city?I seem to hear you asking me to account, "You ask too many questions, you haven't been in this city for 30 years anyway."That's exactly what I'm saying.We did not leave this city like this.Kastamonu's counterparts in the Balkans, let alone Europe, did not torture their cities.You have to go and look at Plovdiv, Bulgaria, which has a population of 9 million.The author of "Paflagon'dan Candar" best tells you about Plovdiv's bond with Kastamonu.The journey of the Eastern Roman Commander Manuel Erotikos Komnenos, who built the castle you have now brought to the sand, started from Plovdiv.And our last Candar, Candaroğlu İsmail Bey, completed his journey in Plovdiv after Fatih Sultan Mehmet dethroned him along with Kızıl Ahmet.Today, the Turkish past in Plovdiv owes its existence to İsmail Bey.What stories come out of the Plovdiv-Kastamonu line.But first, it is necessary to believe, that is, to believe in things other than rent.This city was famous for pastrami, halvah and meat bread.What could this city have done to deserve this much?Does the explanation for imprisoning the Nasrullah Kadı Mosque in concrete come from the saying "This much fault happens to the daughter of the kadi"?Two hapaz rain suffocates the whole work.Has it not rained in this city for centuries?The memory of history records those who have ruined what has been done in a thousand years.And the city is looking forward to those who believe in the "ancient benefactors of the city", not the "renta".
