Good Night, Socrates
A man reflects on a spring of his boyhood, when as a ten-year-old he saw his aunt and grandfather receive a 40-day eviction notice because of an urban renewal project. Shows how the Greek traditions fade away as a Greek community and culture is assimilated into an American city, describing the last service held in the neighborhood orthodox church, and picturing the family on Easter as they leave their home on Socrates Street.
