You can still get the best Polish food in the country there.
Darn right...my grandparents' hometown.

Oh it happens alright.

"Across the United States, religious courts operate on a routine, everyday basis. The Roman Catholic Church alone has nearly 200 diocesan tribunals that handle a variety of cases, including an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 marriage annulments each year.

You beat me too it.

get on the track......Roy Obrien trucks and cars make your money back.

Got me craving for some red pop now.......

Great Grandma lived in Hamtramck, spent a lot of time there as a kid.

Regardless of having been democratically elected or not....... I think I'd be a bit timid about hanging around there now a days.

It used to be that God fearing Christians would rush in to try and convert the "heathens". Now they run away in fear.
