Magda28 25 Apr 2009 / #1Are there any Polish people in Peoria? I might be moving to the area to be with the man I've been dating for almost two years now (we're both very serious about it) and am wondering if there are any Poles that I could talk to during my stay. I fear that I'll be very homesick otherwise.
sledz 23 | 2,248 26 Apr 2009 / #2Well youre only 40 miles or so away from Chicago, just a short drive and you can find all the Polish stores, restaurants,clubs..etc
northrop 1 | 30 26 Apr 2009 / #3sledz, Peoria is about 160 miles away from Chicago ;) at least according to this map right here. so a "short drive" for Magda means about 3 hours without traffic.

OP Magda28 26 Apr 2009 / #7Oh my! I know that Peoria is no Chicago but I really hoped to make some Polish friends there. I've been to Peoria three times so far so I know what to expect. :-P
