I haven’t posted a short story about Park Extension for a long time. For those of you who don’t know, or need reminding (that’s how long it’s been since I posted a bit of fiction), Park Extension is a working-class neighbourhood in Montreal that has, for many generations, been a home for new immigrants. In the years I spent there as a child and adolescent, Greeks probably made up the biggest ethnic group. Most of the Greeks have moved on, although their churches remain.
I hope you like the story.
It’s titled Clothes Make the Man.

Thanks, and sorry it took so long for me to respond. Who is Tigers123 (if you don’t mind)?

Don’t know why it showed Tigers 123 as my user name 😂

Mystery to me too! You’re hardly a tiger, and if you were, you wouldn’t be a beginner tiger, as the 123 suggests.

I enjoyed this immensely. I grew up in Park Ex long before you, but I love the way you wove your story of your father, the suits, Greece and Park Ex.

Hmmm. I’m not too sure about “long before,” or even “before,” but I appreciate your taking the time to read and comment. It means a lot.
