We're having a party when the tree on the top of the Truman Bldg is taken down. Here's hoping we're soon raising our glasses in a toast to that "event."

Looks like a fun and worthy heritage celebration. I hope it continues and grows in popularity.

I wonder if this is celebrated by Polish in other cities. In the fall--usually the last Sunday in Sept. or first in October--there's the big Pulaski Day Parade in New York; don't know if Cleveland has that too.

Was there historically a small Polish Community on Detroit?

Dyngus Day is celebrated in a few cities, but it looks like Cleveland and Buffalo have the most celebrations....

The big celebration site is the former Buffalo Central Terminal which is vacant except for this and other events! The station is in a former Polish neighborhood. See my photo thread at http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,21124.0.html

World population when Christ was born: 300M. 1000AD: 300M (no change); 1700: 600M (doubled); 1810: surpassed 1 Billion; 1920: 2 billion (doubled again); It was 3.5 billion when I was born in 1967 and has doubled since to 7 billion! How can we and the Earth sustain this rate of growth?
