Poles Living in the Chicago Area

In my time in US I only lived ( as a temping contractor) in IL, TX and CA. But TX suited me most. Probably because I have poor cierculation, and the TX heat all year round was just awesome. The only time I got a great all over tan, too. Without trying. Not sure why, but there were very few Poles there. The only Polish store was somewhere down 75 Express way, near Garland? Chicago felt like I was already in Canada. But yes, very similar climate to back in Poland. CA was good too, but I found it the hardest to make new friends down there. Especially around San Francisco.

Maybe because there is large percentage of LGBTQ people and they stick to there community.

Because a large majority of Polish immigration was to the Foundry (to use Garreu's terminology*) which is where ethnic preservation was generally strongest. By the time their descendants end up in other places they're no longer pol-ams but simply Americans and won't be looking for Polish grocery stores... though the presence of the ancestors of German settlers in some areas might produce something kind of similar...

I went back this morning and all they had was regular Paczki, perhaps I was too early:( I still bought one and wolfed it down in the parking lot.

I noticed this bottled water from Poland and its cost $8.00 wow! Inflation is really hitting hard here or is it special wody...lol

My main reason for going to the sklep is the delicious bread:):):)


You should get a load of some of these Italians in Chicago then...LOL They have never been to Italy and can be 3rd generation and still think theyre 100% LOL

On St.Patrick Day, everyone claims to be Irish...Ive even seen Mexicans wearing green t-shirts and hats... Its a big celebration and everyone wants in on it:)

Hey Novi, I went to this Polish restaurant in Schaumburg " Bacowka" and Its the hard wooden seats again!

The service is slower than Ugazdy and by the time I left my ass was sore and I was freezing, bc the cheap ass polock has the heat set down to 60 degrees. I asked and was told its always like this.. Do Widzenia Barfola!

The food wasnt that great either. Ugadzy was better. I ordered the Highlander pancake again.

I know what you can do about that wooden seat...Gain like 100 pounds and you will be fine.
The temp: Before you walk in, gulp a pint of vodka and get into a fight with somebody.
It should also help you with the taste of food - you will not be able to taste anything.
Slow service? Bring something that makes noise. They will want you out fast.

Always helpful,

Novigod


Just wait...In six months, they will have 90 inside.

@Joker ; That seems strange.
Yes, it is strange but even Poles goes eat Italian, Greek or Chinese or Mc. Donalds but not Polish.

He never left Chicago his entire life, but only once to be on Trumps Tv show ( the apprentice ) and he couldn't even check emails on a computer! Hahahaha

We all laugh at Blago, like a clown. He got himself busted because of his own big mouth. He try to sell Obama Senate seat.. " We got this thing and its Phucking golden".

All on tape! LOL

youtu.be/wf9X6C0c-70

Here is what got him thrown in prison. Hes known the dumbest criminal in the history of Chicago!


It was black and about 6 inches tall when I was talking to him at Taste of Polonia around 10 years ago.

Hes really short around 5'5"

@Joker I like Blago, I'll take him anyday over that fat prick Pritzker. He's a jewish billionaire pushing that whole equity white guilt b.s. raising taxes on the north side to fund the ghetto south side... meanwhile he rips toilets out a home worth millions so its considered uninhabitable and thus much lower taxes...

But Blago? He's okay in my book. The Chicago pols must've really hated him for him to get set up like that. Everyone that lives here knows that was so minor with all the other political corruption going on. Patronage, bribery, extortion and eventually time in the feds is the name of the game in Chicago politics.

So where is Trump? What he wait? Chicago to fall?



Brate!

@Crow


He seems to be having some tax problems at the moment Crow.
All of his accountants just quit.
Only if they would have investigated Crooked Hillary so viciously.
The Poles in Chicago don't have much of a chance Crow.
The Swamp is very deep there.

We know what would happen with the Swamp at critical moment. All frog people (ie Italians and similar, if you understand me) would have to go out of Chicago.

BDW, was perpetrator ever cough >



Pole shot in Chicago. Jakub Marchewka was killed in broad daylight

> hi-in.facebook.com/SlavicWorldTV/posts/4394564720558534

aha



I'm back from the dead. 'Being Blago' is the story of Rod Blagojevich

> abc7news.com/feature/rod-blagojevich-documentary-being-blago-prison-released/11171099/



Make the Chicago great again!

Brate Blago samo jako!

@Crow #282
Justice for Kuba = Justice for Cuba?

for brat Jakub Marchewka?

Well, if anybody can help Blago can. Blago the avenger.

Blago for Mayor of Chicago?

Well he couldnt do worse that the Racist Black Lesbian that currently holds the position.

Exactly my thought. And with ethnic Polish and Serbian citizens support he would win if just move for position. Of course, many other desperate citizens would also support Blago, as we can only imagine.

@Joker

Don't encourage Crow.....

I wonder if Blago drives a Tesla?

@Miloslaw

You saw who is current major of beloved Chicago. Joker had to be desperate.



Time proved that war against Blago was a war against Chicago.

Nice thread,,,,I was born in Brighton Park and went to school at Five Holy Martyrs but we had moved in 69 before Pope John Paul held mass at the parish. I have always been very proud of my Polish heritage and finally made my first trip to Poland this summer. I spent a week in Krakow in the Old Town area. I was so impressed how clean all of the city was and plan on to return September next year for another look.

Really??????? Show us the proof you have Crow! I cant wait to tell my fellow Chicagoians!!


Ive been there as well. Very cool city!

Watch Trump fire Blago........
youtu.be/ekUJPxMqteY

Chicago during Blago and Chicago after Blago.

Like USA during Trump and after Trump.

Results. I always look at results.

What results?


This doesnt make any sense at all. The city was better off without him and he wasnt the Mayor either.

The idiot got himself thrown in prison for trying to sell Obamas Senate seat...lol

" I got this thing at its phucking golden". This is all he will be remembered for and also making a fool out of himself on the Apprentice.

Here it is Crow!

youtu.be/wf9X6C0c-70

I have no words. You really don`t see advantages of Blago`s time?



Look what Italians and Co. done to Chicago. First they set up to Blago and then came ruination of Illinois and Chicago. Blago is the lamb in the reslm of monsters. Good family man, successful man.

Blago and his perfect wife > If any man, politician or no politician ever had perfect, normal and valuable wife that is Blago`s wife >



Blago! Blago!

Thats because you dont know what the hell you are talking about! You know nothing about Chicago so phuck off with your stupid $hit!


Nope hes an idiot that tried selling a US Senate seat then got caught and sent to prison. Just another dumbass Serb! LOLOL


You know nothing about his wife or Chicago politics as well. Its Dick Mells daughter, do you know him too??? LOLOL

Ive known Blago for 25 years as I lived in the same neighborhood only 4 blocks from his house before I moved out of Chicago.

Do tell me more fantasias about Blago..... lol

youtu.be/lzmZ6ezXXJU

Irish, Crow, Irish.. You seen too many Al Capone movies. The Democrat machine began with the Irish long before they turned into this woke lefty nonsense.


She is 100% loyal to him. Its the best thing he has going.

I am now in shock. Irish betrayed? But how is that possible? Do we know why?


What about blackmail? They arranged complete scandal and gave text to Blago. Isn`t that logical? That`s how function things in USA.


Didn`t know for Dick Mells. Brate Jokere, I read some limited texts about him but, will you be so kind to tell me more. Must be great man, judging by his daughter. I never ever saw a woman that by her complete body language belongs to family and her husband. Those two Blago`s daughters, too. Blessed Blago and blessed his family. What a wife with incredible virtue. Loyal and smart. Such a rare things in woman. She is credit to all the woman of the world. Hm, Serbian with an English wife. Interesting.

You are completely delusional and know nothing about Chicago all you do is make up crap.

Blago, what a joke! Only other clowns like this goofball. lol

You know what, let us lift pressure off my brain.

Good-luck with your current major of Chicago and your current president of the USA!

Jebite se svi!
