donna at the polish festival
Originally uploaded by plexipixie
The 49th Annual Fall Bazaar takes place at Dom Polski, this weekend (11/7 – 11/8) from 12 to 7 pm each day.
Booths upstairs will offer Polish crystal bowl and vases, Boleslawiec pottery, amber and silver jewelry, pottery, books, and crafts. Downstairs, you can enjoy traditional Polish dishes of pierogi, sausage, cabbage rolls etc. served by the young generation of waiters clad in Polish folk costumes. You can also buy home made desserts and pastries. The address is 1714 18th Ave. Seattle, and free admission and parking.
Seems so charming, right? Who doesn’t love a pierogi?
But the Polish Home Association are very bad neighbors, bad for Capitol Hill and bad for the immediate neighbors.

There won’t be free parking. The lot is tiny and fills up fast, which leads to noise, car alarms, and all manner of charming behavior on behalf of all the east siders to come to the house and treat the neighborhood and neighbors like crap.
