Why you should go…

Tucked into Detroit's historically Polish enclave of Hamtramck, the Polish Art Center stocks hand-painted Boleslawiec stoneware, amber jewelry, folk costumes, religious articles, and imported Polish foods. It's one of the country's best-known sources for Polish cultural goods, drawing shoppers well beyond the local Polish-American community.
