This afternoon, a few friends and I had the privilege of meeting an amazing man named Chris. Chris is the owner/operator of ‘Chris’ Buy and Sell,’ at 201 W. King Street, on the corner of Water and King. His humor and gentle manners instantly drew us in. He shared stories, taught us a little Greek and lectured us on the importance of communication as a key in good marriages.
Chris came to Lancaster from Greece when he was in his mid-twenties. He met his wife, “did the eye blink thing,” and fell in love. After a wedding in Greece they returned to Lancaster where he has been ever since. During a quick language lesson we were reminded that we all speak Greek, we just don’t know it. We learned the true meanings of ’school’ and ‘idiot.’ I whole-heartedly agree with his brilliant view on education.
Be sure to stop by ‘Chris’ Buy and Sell,’ check out the unique furniture, find some treasures, and allow Chris to impart some wisdom. His dream is to retire and teach Greek to anyone who is willing to learn. What an honor it was to spend a half hour in his store. Thank you fine sir. You are Lancaster.

Great place, you can find some unique stuff for a good price. I bought a vintage tripod there a couple of years ago. Rotting leather case and all. I love it.
