When an aging man experiencing homelessness approached the police station seeking a simple shower, the officers decided to go above and beyond by giving him a complete transformation!
Bobby, a kind-hearted yet unfortunate elderly individual without a place to stay, caught the attention of Officer Aaron Page as he wandered the streets of New York. Following a brief conversation, Bobby expressed his primary desire for a hot shower and a haircut, emphasizing his lack of funds and shelter.
Rather than taking Bobby into custody, Officer Page was deeply moved by the man’s humble request. Motivated by a sense of duty, he escorted Bobby to the station to facilitate a significant makeover, involving the collaboration of multiple police officers.
The elderly man was genuinely pleased with the results of the remarkable transformation, showcasing the compassionate side of law enforcement in this unexpected act of kindness.
Abandoned strawberry house
Built in the late 1920s, this house was originally the residence of banker Dimitar Ivanov and his wife Nadezhda Stankovic. The interior features a striking red marble fireplace in the reception room, as well as a stage for musical performances and crystal-adorned interior doors.
The house has several bedrooms, elegant terraces, a spacious study and various utility rooms. Although the original furnishings have been lost, historical records indicate that the elite Sofia residents of the time preferred Central and Western European furniture.
The exterior of the property features a large front garden bordered by an ornate wrought iron fence. A large triple staircase leads to the main entrance, and the property is also characterized by carriage portals that flank the courtyard.
These portals are reminiscent of a bygone era where one can imagine a horse-drawn carriage driving into the courtyard, while the horses and carriage wait in a specially designated area behind the house until the end of the reception.
The Ivanov family enjoyed their residence until 1944, after which the estate was nationalized. At first it served as the Romanian embassy, later as the USSR’s trade mission in Bulgaria and as the headquarters of various communist organizations with unclear functions.
In the 1990s the house was returned to Ivanov’s heirs. In 2004 it was taken over by Valentin Zlatev, director of Lukoil. Despite this change of ownership, the property, which had fallen into disrepair for decades, remains neglected and abandoned, with no apparent connection to its cultural heritage.
