 T have in the nine years seen many changes in the sea food business in Birmingham. It is no longer a nov city. the public has become used to such places and consequently they have increased in number. I have experienced quite a raise of rents. I began by paying $50 a month for a place in which to do business and have paid as high as s325 a month. The same rising scale applies to fit ting up the various places. It cost me only s1,200 10 fit up my first ven ture. while l spent $22,000 on one of my cafes. l began with five helpers and have worked as high as 35.
 T landed In Birmingham with about s200 in cash, and l suppose if anyone had seen me laying brick on my first little place they would never have dreamed that within the space of nine years I would have paid out more than s5o,000 in fittings, thousands upon thousands In rent and wages, and hundreds In taxes. I merely state these things to show that even a great city like Birmingham can- not afford to neglect the little fell lows who settle within its bounds. I am married, have two children and like Birmingham"

This is to be the story of Spartan boy who came to the United States and is now n good American citizen, He came to this country more than 30 years ago landed at New York but went immediately to Chicago. where he lived for a number of years and then came to Birmingham about nine years ago.
 Its the adventurous spirits who turn their backs on home and native land and set out to make their way In the world under alien skies; and behind the face of many prosaic business man whom we meet daily lies romance and tragedy. In talk ing with the man about whom this little story will reyolve 1t was pathetic to know that he stands alone in tha new world without relatives ana that father and mother and brothers and sisters all sleep beneath the sunny skies of Greece.
 q came to Birmingham about nine years ago. says George Choromokos, land was the pioneer in the exclusive sea food restaurant. I rented for $50 a month a vacant space on Third ave- nue between two stores. It was just a bit of ground sxso. and I went to work with my own hands and built my little place of business. Many comments were made at the time, both on its size and the fact that l used oyster shells for decorative ef- fects.
 T next opened in the rear of Love- man, Joseph & Loeb's in what to me then was a large place, as l actually had 14x50. My next adventure was to buy Whites restaurant. which I op- erated a short tinre, on Third avenue near the city hall. Then l opened at APO North twentieth street. and also took in store connecting with the
