Hellenic Boulevard (Bronx)
Present name:Bruckner Boulevard
Location:Between Arnow Place and Willow Lane
Honoree: This 1993 naming honored the Greek Orthodox Church of Zoodohos Peghe, whose new building was then nearing completion on this block. The church was originally opened in 1914 on Eagle Avenue and was then on Forest Avenue until 1967, when a permanent parish was established at 3573 Bruckner Boulevard. The site includes the Greek American Institute, the oldest Greek American parochial school in the northeast.
