‘He was larger than life’: Brooklyn mourns death of Grand Prospect Hall owner Michael Halkias

Source: www.brooklynpaper.com - Saturday, May 09, 2020 The owner of the iconic Park Slope events venue Grand Prospect Hall, Michael Halkias, died from COVID-19 on Wednesday. He was 82.

The couple spent 20 yea All Related
