Sam Krichinsky: A couple of years ago, I went to see the house on Avalon. It was gone. Not just the house, but the whole neighborhood. I went to see the ballroom, where me and my brother used to play. The whole place, gone. Not just that. But the grocery store where we used to shop, gone. All gone. I went to see where Eva lived off Poplar Street. It isn't there. Not even the street. It isn't there. Not even the street. And then I went to see the nightclub I used to have. And thank God, it was there, because for a minute, I thought I never was.

Sam Krichinsky: If I knew things would no longer be here, I would have tried to have remembered better.
