I actually find TRUE polish sausage kind of bland, give me something made here or better yet a Johnsonville. Now perogies on the other hand that is a different story, those made anywhere are generally pretty darn good!!
I went to school with one of the Kern boys! Great sausage in Frankenmuth Mich!!!!

I will vouch for snow monkey. I am also a half and half. Half Dutch/half German. I am currently looking at my neighbors torn and tattered Red, white and blue that survived the winter. GUESS I need to go point it out to them and hope they aren't packing. (They are Irish/Indians).
Put a wings flag in it's place then pray!!!

I do have to admit when I first saw this thread I thought it was something special about making the sled look clean (polish:a substance used to give smoothness or gloss)
So did I. So naive we must be. At least it is under off topic ramblings.
Well, snow, the Polish people are proud that THEIR Pope, John Paul II, was beatified...almost the final step to making the Pope a saint. That's an amazing feat considering most folks don't get beatified until they are dead for 200 years or so?!? (don't be quoting me on statistics...just generalizing?!) So the Polish community is PROUD! as well they should be.
I get what you're saying about flying the red, white and blue...but this is a HUGE deal for the Polish people. And honestly? After hundreds, if not thousands of years, of their country being in the middle of Europe and Russia (today's maps) and living hellish lives that forced them to stick it out and starve/go through a living **** or leave, they SHOULD be able to have a little pride considering their history. Most Polish people I know still love their homeland but had to leave...they love America too...but for most that I know, leaving wasn't their first choice.
JMO (disclaimer: I'm not Polish)
I am not Polish or Catholic, but the Pope they are celebrating is widely credited with helping to start the fall of communism in Poland, which is obviously something worth celebrating!

The immigrants have nearly taken over construction jobs
Chicago has over a million Polish people there now and growing everyday ! They are taking over the Chicagoland area! When you call my old Union hall in Des Plains there are 3 options English 2 Spanish, 3 Polish. I have worked with a lot of great Poles that were fun and curtious but some other were just...you know whats! But yeah come on this is America fly our flag! They have literally taken over a Midwest Masonry, (and several others). Then i'am white water rafting 5 hours north of Illinois on the Wolf River and there is this Polish group that saw a Chicago White Sox hat and says "Hey..Cheecago..that's were i from" He had these creepy Speedo's on and urinated were everybody could see him...One of our friends has a pic of the incident. But yeah fly our flag !

Can't be. Chicago has 2.695 million people. Of that, 854,000 are white. Assuming all immigrant Poles are white (seems like a safe assumption), if a million Poles live in Chicago that means every white resident of the city is Polish, plus another 150,000 that are non white.
Talking Cook County, population 5.287 million, 44.9% (2.37M) is white, non Hispanic. Thus 1 million Poles would equal 42% of the total white population of Cook County, meaning that roughly every other white person on the street (4 of 10) would be speaking Polish.
Chicago is the largest Polish community in the US, it is generally assumed that there are 185,000 people principally speaking Polish in the City, which is a lot (21%of the white population). But it is a far cry from a million.
I agree on the flag issue, fly the US flag first, fly the Polish (or Irish, or Mexican, or Buttf***istan) flag beneath it. But let's not forget the immigrant history of one of America's great cities. Chicago was, and continues to be, built on immigrants. It has a rich history of poor European immigrants coming to America and realizing the American Dream for their families and future generations by making steel, building cars, and meatpacking. Irish, Greek, Polish, African, Chinese, Hispanic, this city has always represented a place for immigrants to get a start. This is Chicago.

I agree Chicago has always been a melting pot. And a million was said on i believe Channel 5 news last year on Pulaski Day. Or nearly a million was said. I know i heard million.

Uh huh. For every ONE that is in the census, there are probably two living in the dwelling that aren't counted. I dated a Polish girl for a couple of years. I found out way too many things that I actually really didn't want to know. Sham marriages, living tax free, over-extending your student visa, immigration help in the back room of Polish travel agencies. Oh well, at least a lot of the women are hot as ****.

Over 9.8 million people in the Chicagoland area says wiki
Clarify The News said the "Chicagoland" area has nearly a million Poles, i knew many of them and a lot were scattered through out the Suburbs. I drove a straight truck all over the Chicagoland area and lived in the city itself..(Belmont and Halsted).I feel i know Chicago. Nothing against them, glad they are proud were they are from but fly our flag.
