I am so envious! I would really like to live in or very near a large Polish Community. There is one in Dorchester, MA--but I would have to go through the city of Boston to get to it. Dorchester is a mixture of cultures. There used to be a huge one in the next city. That is where my dad grew up. Sadly, that is all gone.Chicago has a HUGE Polish population. There are more Polish people in Chicago than there are in Warsaw. And that particular college was pretty much in the heart of the Polish area of the city.
For me to get to a real, good Polish Store, I either have to drive or take the trains, with multiple line change, into Dorchester or drive an hour north. Sad...
Wishing for some real good Polish food right now.. real kielbasa, pierogi, babka, chruschiki, etc.....
kind of hard to justify driving an hour for just one or two items.. it is just me...
