No public school in Chicago will be open and city and local offices are closed. We have a lot of brothers and sisters of Polish descent here.

Dzien dobry, y’all!
 
LOL - only in Chicago, the third largest Polish city in the world.

Kazimierz Pułaski was a Polish general who commanded cavalry in the American Revolution. The rest of the US may have forgotten him, but not in Chicago. 🙂

Since Mayor Daley leased all the parking meters, and the new company has decided there is never a parking meter holiday…remember to stoke the meters in Chicago even on Pulaski Day.
 
In my hometown, the parishes were organized along ethnic lines. And, of course, there was a St. Casimir! That’s the patron saint of Poland and the first name of Pulaski. And, of course, I was born on St. Casimir’s Day.
 
Today, March 4th is the feast of St.Casimir. Happy Feast day to all you Casey’s & Casimira’s out there

This is his monument in Savannah, GA. You can’t tell from the photo, but it is 55 feet tall.
