Dan Pogorzelski, vice-president of the Northwest Chicago Historical Society and co-author of the book, Images of America – Portage Park, is coauthoring a book about the history of Avondale and Chicago’s Polish Village for Arcadia Publishing. Any old photos (or tips on sources of photos) of people or places in the neighborhood would be greatly appreciated. The neighborhood is bound roughly by Addison to the north, Diversey to the south, the Chicago River to the east, and the Milwaukee District West Metra line (past Pulaski) to the west. Thanks!
