USA, Canada / Most common ancestries in the USA [56]

right but it's about most common ancestries in the USA,

I would say its a pretty accurate map

If they made an updated version, my state (city) would have every color in it:)

Illinois and Wisconsin still has a very large German population

USA, Canada / My boyfriend is being deported to Poland because his US visa expired, help needed [53]

yeah... they might give him to sign papers where he admits to everything and then even God won't help him..

Im sure they probably would try that right away, trick him into signing something.

think he was in trouble when he came here

Maybe its for the better before he gets you into trouble, how long have you known this guy its seems hes hiding something from the past???

USA, Canada / My boyfriend is being deported to Poland because his US visa expired, help needed [53]

I know this girl that overstayed her visa for over 4 years then went back to Poland for family reasons, and now she cant come back to the US for 10 years.

outstayed his visa they look down on that.

Thats pretty much guaranteed a deportation, It might be too late even for an attorney?

Whatever you'll file for it's gonna cost you some serious bucks

And lots of red tape

worried
what is the prisons like in poland? hes goin ther next..

Na, they wont do nothing to him,, I never heard of that happening:)

USA, Canada / REFUSED A HOLIDAY VISA TO THE U.S CAUSE IM POLISH [323]

Just cross via one of the many cozy spots in Texas, Arizon and the like.

Yeah, and die of depredation in the desert! Sure you could hire a coyote(smuggler) to get you across the border but whos to say they just dont take your money and shoot you?

Its so nice of you to encourage Poles to break our laws and risk dying,,good job!!!

You make it sound so easy Farious, Your big mouth is always shooting out a bunch of crap!

USA, Canada / Polish Restaurants in NW Chicago & Suburban for 2010 [11]

Oh I used to lives Lawrence and Nagle and it is my old neighborhoods for 35 yrs.

Theres this tiny little place at Lawrence and Austin called Halinias(sp) that I thought was pretty good as well.

I am having visitors from Indiana. My family are very old fashioned who don't eat American foods but only Polish Dishes. I am trying to find good restaurants to take them since I don't live in Chicago.

This is the best place for Polish Buffet, they have a regular menu also.

jollyinn.com

I would stay away from Old Warsaw though,,Ewwwwww!!

What's wrong with Lutnia Restaurant located at 5532 West Belmont?

I havent been into that one yet, theres quite a few restaurants around Belmont/Central

USA, Canada / Polish Restaurants in NW Chicago & Suburban for 2010 [11]

I am updating the Polish Restaurants for 2010.

When you update, that means you would be adding some kind of new information,,,, no?

How many Polish Restaurants in NW Chgo. & Surburban Area?

There are many in the city that Ive visited, I only know of a few delis in the burbs.
Too many to post right now:)

I do not want to travel to restaurants if they aren't in business.

Yeah, that would suck to drive all the way to the old Polish hood just to find,, Si Habla Espaniol,,especial leche $2.49 amiga...lol

If you would like to go to a Ma and Pa type of place try Smakoz they have really good food at reasonable prices, also they have liquor and piwo but its not a bar type atmosphere.

Weve had a couple PF meet ups there before and everybody seems to enjoy it:)

Its at Lawrence/Central

Ask the Polish goverment why they don't want everyone leaving Poland.

They dont have a fence big enough yet, The mass exodus to the UK has them still in shock!!

The vacuum will be filled by Muslims, The Polish Government doesnt want the visa restrictions removed,,blame the US no prob, well get blamed anyways

I like Żubr, it has a very distinctive taste, smoky not like the typical beers.

Ive never heard of that one before, maybe its not imported to the US??
Ill look for it next time

Okocim Tyskie and Zywiec seemed to have cornered the market,

Food / Is carp indigenous to Israel? [39]

C'mon man, you know you've hooked many a carp out of the Chicago River

I dont think anything could live in the Chicago River..lol

Ya, Ive caught them in ponds before, nasty looking things!

BTW, Asian carp DNA was found in water sample of Chicago river (no sighting of the fish tho, they say)

Ive heard a report that one was found in Lake Erie, not sure if its true but I hope not.

and now 'authorities' in charge of these matters are panicking and proposing closing off some important waterway??

The state of Minnesota and Michigan are trying to get an injunction to close down the Illinois shipping canal.

I don't see how though, carp aren't really predators

Its coz theyll eat everything, the whole food chain is in jeopardy!
asiancarp.org/Documents/AsianCarp.pdf

We have electric barriers that kill the fish but when it floods all that extra water gets released into Lake Michigan.

Im for saving the Great Lakes before a shipping canal, they will just have to truck stuff into Chicago, Not that its really going to matter because the Illinois river has tributaties that run through Indiana and eventually into the lake.

Hillbillies in Arkansas brought them in

Yep dumb rednecks trying to think again

They will reduce the food available to indigenous species

And our beautiful lakes will be ruined:(

The Canadians should be very worried about the carp getting into thier waters also, once they make it into the Great Lakes theyll spread all throughout Ontario and Quebec

News / Should Poland Remove Visa Restrictions? [285]

Thats sadly true there's a large exploitatitive industry around that but it has nothing to do with how we work and everything to do with morality, loyalty (or lack of thereof) abroad.

Theyre Americans that do it also, its seems some polish are leary of Americans so they only go with one of these small Polish companies then wind up getting taking advantage of because alot of these so called contractors are just out to cheat.

Thats just a certain percent, most Poles I know like you said have high morals and are good friends of mine.

Im not here to bash on Poles

So you live in some kind of a slum then like

I live in a Polish neighborhood and Polock is used umgunst friends all the time.

I suppose you do have a point, I doubt that I would walk up to a complete stranger and say "hey Polock" I could see it being offensive then. I didnt mean it that way twords you.

but you're that much of a prick and have some sort of an issue.

And youre not?????
Ive read plenty of your posts, so save me the self righteous BS

Pollock is bloody derogatory all across America, its an insult and used as an insult.

Not all Poles feel this way, I could walk into a bar and hear "Polock" all night long.

Like you said you dont live here so you dont really know what youre are talking about!

News / Should Poland Remove Visa Restrictions? [285]

You realise quite a large patch of Chicago was developed by Poles and descendants of Poles?

Then what happened to thier work ethic? I see Poles preying on the other Poles that cant speak English and they rip them off all the time!

As far as i know its offensive everywhere, it amounts to calling a black guy a n*gger also i doubt you're a Polock, Polish or even a Polak:)

I dont think so, everybody says it to each other over here.

Just like Paki is an insult in the UK and it isnt a derogatory word in the US.

Since you're obviously not Polish and prejudiced what the hell are you doing here?

You obviously dont know me at all:)

Im sure the Polish government doesnt want the visa restrictions removed, then they would have to put a fence around the whole county to keep the people from leaving, it would be like a ghost town....lol

Sledż i heard something quite the opposite about Polish construction companies in America

In the Chicago area they have a bad reputation, its well know..sorry

I cant fail but notice that you use a derogatory term "polock" would that and associated ******** stem from the fact that you're a prejudiced idiot?

Here in Chicago Polocks call each other Polocks all day long,its not offensive here.

Do you live here you ******* idiot?????

Not yet but they will, mainly because they're cheap

and they work harder than the typical wodka filled Pole

News / Should Poland Remove Visa Restrictions? [285]

I've never managed to attach "quality" to that list.

As far a construction goes, I would have to agree with you. Poles have a very bad reputation in the US for doing shoddy work. Most Americans wont hire a Polish company to work on thier homes, while most Poles only hire other Poles because either they cant speak English or just dont know any better, then they wind up get ripped off by a bunch of off the boat hacks.

I do know some execellent polish carpenters but theyve lived here 20 years and they know all our construction codes.

Most Polocks want the job done dirt cheap, so you get what you pay for:)

Why are the Chinese building all the roads in Poland???????

USA, Canada / Why no Polish stuff in Chicago? [41]

Not totally; the "Red Apple" is just a block south of Belmont on Milwaukee and there are some stores in that area and south of there as well including a couple more restaurants.

I was at the czerowne jablusko about 2 months ago and it was just horrible, the other one by Devon seems to be better quality. Staropolska and the Polska apteka are still there.

Angelinas rest and Wallys supermarket moved out of there also, Its getting like the ghetto over there.

Very slowly; lets hope the Poles hang in there

Belmont/Central or by Harlem/Lawrence I think will be Polish forever:)
Theyve opened a few new clubs,rests and a huge supermarket. So not to worry:)

But as previously noted, lots of Poles live in the suburbs now. They have become or are becoming Americanized.

They have more money now, and can get away from the riff raff of the city.

Remember years ago when dozens of Polish guys would stand on the corner of Bel/Mil and wait for daily labor jobs?

If you drive past there now, its all Mexicans at least 100 of them everyday.

Its turning into Los Angeles over there....lol
