It's something I have been thinking of doing for 25 years ... Document the place where you live as it is now, but in a documaentary way. Record all the key aspects (good and bad) that make it what it is to YOU. Before you even go out jot down everything you know about "Salonica" - all the highs and lows. Key places for everyone and key places for you. Think about how to portray them as a set (style: well composed or o"n the hoof"; all B%W, mixture etc). Is it buildings or people too? Then go out and do it. Like Luis I would suggest trying to do the bulk on weekend but with a second session two weeks (?) later when you have the results. The hard part is to see the place as you don't normally see it: because our minds are great at not seeing things we know too well. Record it with the eye of a newcomer but with the heart of someone who has always been there.
