Hello people. If you are looking for a place to rent, the Hamtramck Citizen news paper is now on-line at: www hamtramckcitizen.com/

You can view the classified ads on line. The paper is published every Wednesday. Sadly, now in English only.

My grandparents were all born in Poland and emigrated to Hamtramck around 1915. We lived in Hamtramck for a few years, then moved to Detroit. Lots of Polish neighborhoods in Detroit back around the end of WW2.

Hamtramck has largely lost its Polish flavour. Last time I was through a few months ago there were still a couple of Polish restarants and shops, Pączki Day is a big deal once a year, but the general ambience is that of a blighting American inner-city neighbourhood with plenty of dollar stores, Yemeni women in long black frocks and a few funky bars.

TV cameramen covering Pączki Day artificially created a Polish atmospehre with close-ups of a sign with Poland Street on it and the Dom Związkowy neon.

Most of Polish moved from Hamtramck to Sterling Heights.

Anyone know all the words to a bouncy polka called "There's a city called Hamtramck"? I can recall only some of them.

Under the Eagle (Pod Orłem) in Hamtramck......

Anyone from MI been there lately? I haven't been there in almost two years and was wondering if it was still there. The only reason I ask is because Hamtramck (im told) is being taken over by ****** people doing ****** things.

Going to MI in August and was definitely going to stop in.......

We really liked the staff at Pod Orłem last time. Thanks for the suggestion and we will definitely check that place out too when we visit.

Well that makes me feel a little better to know it's not rapidly getting worse.....
