Wesolych Swiat Bozego Narodzenia (Merry Christmas)

Are you wondering what to get that very special Polish person in your life. Look no further than this web site.

www.polartcenter.com

The Polish Art Center (Treasury of Polish Heritage) is located in Hamtramck MI, a suburb of Detroit, birthplace of yours truly---kingdavid. This would be comparable to Minneapolis Nordeast; except on a much grander scale; at least back in the 50's. I understand now there is a large Muslim population. They rammed through some initiative that allowed them to have the call to prayer blared over the town; I just recently read that other citizens got that revoked as a noise nuisance. Another interesting tidbit about Hamtramck, one of the recent former mayors was a cousin of Pope John Paul, who visited Hamtramck more than any other city in America.

If you don't know anyone of Polish descent, remember the king is, and my big 5-0 is coming up January 2, fyi for my local friends---Mocha-momma and I are planning to have dinner on the evening of Saturday, January 6 at Nye's Polonaise (which is near Keegans), we'd love to have you join the celebration if you can make it, at least stop in for a brewski (I'll drink an extra for Gino) Be ready to polka in the back bar.
