f stop 25 | 2,503 14 Apr 2010 #121and brought in the blues rock band Dzem two years ago for a concert in Sarasota, which was outstanding, even though it was unfortunately poorly attended.I would have loved to see them, and brought people, had I known! Oh, I can't believe they were here!Do you have a website, or newsletter I can check out? I'm in Cocoa Beach, not that far.
Patti - | 5 20 Apr 2010 #122I live in north area and belive me or not is real hard here to find anybody polish. As I have noticed the more you go to the south the more polish ppl u can find. Lucky those who lives in south Florida..I have met a polish couple that speak fluent polish like I do but thats all.All I know is that there is a catolic church and polish school in Gainsville, must be some polish ppl over there then :)Wish I met some more Polaks in Lake City, Gainsville or Jacksonville...Been here for over a year and miss hanging out with polish people :)Maybe there is somewhere a nice " kolezanka" that would like to be my friend :)I am 28/married/woman/Pozdrawiam serdecznie wszystkich Rodakow na Florydzie :)

Polka lover 22 May 2010 #127There are a lot of Polish people in the St. Petersburg/Clearwater/Palm Harbor area and Polish delis also. We have quite a few Polish families at church, St. Luke's in Palm Harbor also. I enjoy being around people of the same heritage and listening to the language.I live in Palm Harbor and have attended the Pulaski Polish American Club in Holiday, Fl and also the Polish Club in ST. Petersburg where they have had many polka bands perform. I will have to check out the Clearwater club now since you mentioned that one; I think the name is John Paul II and have seen many cars in the parking lot from time to time.Every Sunday on FM radio station WMNF 88.5 there is a polka program from 2 to 4p.m. on which they announce activities at Polish clubs in the Tampa Bay area and play polkas by bands from everywhere. You can even stream the program on the computer if you can't get the radio station. Wacky Jackie and Mrs. Wacky are very entertaining and lovely people. Their program is the most popular show on that station too and has computer listeners all over the world.......how awesome is that!
nowa123 12 Jun 2010 #128there is a polish american club in northeast florida/jacksonville and their hall is on collins road. a new one is under construction on the same lot. my husband is polish and we went there for wigilia and blessing of the baskets. they also have a small shop where you can buy dry goods. if you google them i'm sure it will show up. it's big enough that they have a booth at the world of nations in jax. there is also a polish mass at st. joseph's historic church in mandarin on the 2nd and 4th sunday of the month celebrated by fr. joseph from palm coast/korona (all of them at the monastery are polish). i would say it's pretty well attended. it's a great opp to meet other polish people. for kielbasa and also dry goods, there is black knight deli in st. augustine.

f stop 25 | 2,503 23 Jun 2010 #131I'm next to Melbourne, beachside. We have a Polish restaurant and a European deli, but not much else, as far as Polish culture goes. Maybe Orlando has more, I don't know, I only go there to the airport.Which school do you go to? What is your major? In which part of town are you going to live?
verobeachpolak 4 Jul 2010 #132There is a Polish American Social Club in Vero Beach about 30 minutes from Melbourne.
allstar91 - | 7 17 Jul 2010 #134Hey! F stop thanks for response! Im majoring in a Molecular Biology and minoring in human nutritient. I was just about to transfer to WSU from a local community College but since Im leaving MI anywayz, Im just guna transfer my credits to UCF. It turned out Im going to live in Palm Bay, not Melbourne sorry about that im not so familliar with those areas. As far as i know there's not much going on in Palm Bay- i was going through some job ads but couldnt find much... Im a student so i need at least a part time job which sucks considering area where Im going to live..or maybe its not that bad??Anywayz..F stop are u a student yourself? It would be so nice to chat with u and exchange experiences... Im sure that life in MI differs from the one in FL!!

f stop 25 | 2,503 19 Jul 2010 #136Im sure that life in MI differs from the one in FL!!we have tons of people from MI here.Palm Bay and Melbourne are almost the same.I'm much older than you - I have a son older than you!Are you down here already?
allstar91 - | 7 20 Jul 2010 #137Idk for some reason i just assumed u were a student lol. maybe because of your interest in my major or sthg. anywayz im leavin MI aug25. im still strugglin wit the summer classes :(Hmmm wat u said was very interesting i had no idea tht there are so many people from MI down there. Im really curious how does a Palm Bay look like. Ive never had a chance to see neither this area nor our new house - ive ben too busy studyin :) how old is your son? does he have any polish friends? Ive plenty of them here because of the big polish population in MI but from this forum i got a feeling that its guna be diff to find any of them in fl as they are very scattered
