Next to St. Stanislaus in the Strip District Pittsburgh

I’d just left the coffee shop around the corner when I saw this plaque and Memorial Garden. It’s been awhile since I walked around in the Strip District. I was walking by St. Stanislaus Church (St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish was founded in 1875 as the first ethnic Polish parish in the Diocese of Pittsburgh…) and I stopped to read this tribute. Made me think.

I thought it was a great question to find the answer to.

St. Stanislaus Churchlight At Night

We were coming home from the Masters of Visual Arts Show at the Heinz History Center. It was dark but the church in the Strip District was glowing from inside. St. Stanislaus Church was built in 1891      For Becky B’s  #Januarylight challenge

The above photo a square or close to it. The following photo shows the stained glass window design and I couldn’t bear to crop the photo.

La Porte County, Indiana Road Sign- a Nod to an Ardent Blog Reader

A guest blog  by Mark and Erika and a special nod to a dear family friend!

My son Mark has been wanting to photograph this sign for years.

When you’re driving on the turnpike, it’s fairly impossible.  This weekend as they headed to a Chicago wedding, with Erika driving and an iPhone camera, he was able to capture this special road sign for his good friend’s father who bears the same name.

Although Mr. Wozniak doesn’t write comments on the blog itself, I receive the loveliest of emails in response to many of the daily photos as they trigger a memory or story from his growing up.

 

and since we are talking Polish heritage (see info on the Jacob Wozniak from Indiana who was a wagon painter here)

Erika sent a photo of the wedding dinner from the Polish wedding they attended in Chicago this weekend while I watched the grandchildren.  They said is was delicious and served Family Style.
