Our neighbor

Remembering
Niko.

Niko was a Greek immigrant who called this neighborhood home for more than 40 years.

He rode his bike everywhere, loved photography and woodworking, and was a familiar face at the Sloop, Big Mario's, and local pool tables.

His photos and ours

Photos.

One of Niko with a friend. The rest are his photographs.
