My parents came down from Wisconsin today and we had brunch buffet at Hilary’s Urban Eatery (HUE). Afterward we browsed around Brown Elephant, a second-hand store that was the first resale store in the country designed to specifically raise funds for HIV/AIDS care. Since I live in a Polish neighborhood, we then wandered over to the Polish Museum of America where we learned that Chicago and it’s suburbs (collectively known as Chicagoland) have the largest population of Polish people outside of Warsaw, Poland. The museum’s Great Hall closed for renovations so I think we missed a lot, but the admission is free so I’m not complaining.
