Host Andy Mahler spends an hour with longtime Bloomington resident, restauranteur, actor, organizer, activist, and community leader, Spyridon Stratigos, better known to the Bloomington community as Strats. Strats talks about his family, basketball, the islands of Greece, and his 40-year involvement in the Bloomington community, from his arrival in 1967 through his involvement with the Tao restaurant, the Gables, and his current role as board chairman of Bloomington Cooperative Services, which operates two Bloomingfoods groceries. BCS is currently remodeling the former Encore Cafe to open in the near future as a westside Bloomingfoods grocery and deli on W. 6th Street.
