Avondale is one of Chicago's largest and most vibrant 'Polish Patches'. The neighborhood gets its name from Saint Hyacinth's Basilica (Bazylika Św. Jacka), the local Catholic parish church, at 3636 West Wolfram Street. Milwaukee Avenue is the main strip with dozens of sausage shops, restaurants, bakeries etc. This area is also referred to as the Polish Village - a name featured on signs hung on street lamps over the district. Pulaski Avenue, named after the Polish Revolutionary War hero, runs through the area.
