Oh, I bet there are downloadable calls to prayer already. And I bet I could find a watch or a cell phone that would play them for me on the schedule I wanted. I'm always a day late and a dollar short.

Here is a little background information on Hamtramck, Michigan.

Since the 1920's it was a Polish community. Not just a couple of Poles, but almost 100%. All the businesses were Polish, the signs are written in Polish, every church was Catholic, and in the 80s the POPE visited the town.

The homes were immaculate. Poles are known for their cleanliness around here and if you are lucky you can hire a Polish maid.

Living in Hamtramck was like living in old Poland.

Then General Motors came in and built the Poletown Cadillac Plant and displaced 100s of families. Then a huge prison was built next to it.

Then came the Albanians. The Albanians came in the 80s and keep on coming. They are your Muslims. There were constant clashes between the old Catholic Poles and the Albanian gangs. The Poles started moving out of the town and it is now a hell hole on the same level as surrounding Detroit.

Rarely do you see the old Polish women sweeping their streets or walking downtown to buy their new church hats and prayer candles. All you see are old run down flats, garbage everywhere, and crime.
