ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- The current financial crisis in Greece hits very close to home for some Greek-Americans, including some here in Asheville. Owner of Apollo Flame on Brevard Road Jimmy Papaconstantinou says he is worried about the Mediterranean country. "It's a concern a lot," Papaconstantinou said. "It's my birth country. What is going on, does not look very nice, but I hope pretty soon that they will be able to find a solution to this problem." Papaconstantinou was born and raised in Greece. He still has many friends and relatives in the country. Recently, he had to cancel his summer trip to Greece because of the financial crisis but says his friends and family are doing OK, for now, but is ready to help them if things get worse. _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
