It is a small city (not by Polish standards but by American). Very "normal" or usual polish community. Not a lot to do there, the closest big city is Katowice about 1 hr. away. Lots of bus transportation available though. It has it own small "town" area but only a few blocks. Don't look for any gourmet markets or haute couteur (SP). Just normal people, most live in apartments which they call "blocks". They do have a McDonalds. Anything else, just ask, my husband is from Jastrzebie.

Ufortunately, it is true. My wife`s distant family live in Jastrzębie, we went there once and never wanted to come back again. We went for a walk among blocks of flats and that was the biggest attraction available.
It is a sad grey place built after WW2 with two working coal mines. Or three.
