celinski: This looks like it will be very interesting. Anyone else planning to watch? If it's on I'll watch it. If only to see if there's any mention of the 4th biggest city, Wroclaw. celinski: Solidarity Avenue, the Chopin Monument, and the Palace of Culture and Science are just some of the backdrops A true reflection of the whole of Poland !!
