to eat at Bobak's Restaurant,

On the southside really popular place

crablegs you gotta check out my favorite BOB CHINNS!!!

Really cool place famous for thier Mai tai`s in wheeling,IL

Some clubs:
Jedynka.com the most popular Polish club.. Diversey/Cicero

You can go there after Bob Chinns fairly close to eachother.

Dont you want the forum to grow?
I would never advertise without youre consent..admin

As we know you being based in Mt.Prospect there is a huge Polish community
that lives in the Chicago area.

More members more problems?

Without members what would you have?

Are we not good enough to spread the word here in Chicago?

Its going to be a good time and I cant wait to meet my friends that I`ve met here.

UK, Ireland / Foreigners: Please don't buy the English Land! [83]

as brits, we have always gone for quality over quantity

Thats very questionable?
I`ve been to the UK and wasnt impressed with England at all
Now Ireland, thats a country that has quality

Our lakes even dwarf youre country

Superior 82,414 km
Michigan 58,016 km
Ontaio 18,529 km
Huron 59,596 km
Erie 25,745 km

England 130,395 km....US 9,629,091 km

Where do you fit 51,000,000 people??

Sounds a bit over crowded

yeah , its not so bad but with the heat comes the humidity

The lakefront will be cooler its a free air conditoner

lake water is still only in the 60`s... with the breeze blowing
off it, should be only in the 80`s along the shoreline

Beach weather, enjoy it while you can

As the old saying goes if you dont like the weather in Chicago wait a few hours.
it will change

Just a matter of time well have the snowmobiles out

USA, Canada / Polish Festival - Chicago [229]

Its is the last weekend of summer but alot of people also leave the city for
places like Wisconsin to go camping etc...

I went to the fest last year it was a great time!!!

It would be worth it trip if you can make it

A festival celebrating Polish traditions includes live entertainment, polka dancing, arts and crafts, food, beer and more.

They even had a few Rock bands last year

In case anybody needs info on the fest:

Doesn't Pulaski have something to do with it

I know he was a patriot in the revolutionary war

If you guys are from Chicago, do you know the Holiday Inn Hotel @ Merc Mart?

Your better off finding a room by O`hare its closer and cheaper
