If muskrat is an aquatic rodent of north america (from the dictionary) - then it would seem strange as an eastern european tradition, as they don't exist in eastern europe. Secretlondon 19:42, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)

May originally have been myogale moschata. Morwen 19:43, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)
It sounds like it is a Polish-American tradition, started by immigrants, rather than in Poland itself. Adam Bishop 19:44, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Description

[edit]

This description of the older definition of the neighborhood doesn't make sense:

"The boundaries of historical Poletown included the Hamtramck city line, Gratiot Avenue, and a line from Mt. Elliott to the intersection of Canfield and St. Antoine, the location of the Detroit Medical Center."

A line from where on Mt. Elliott to that intersection? But more than that, I doubt it's a straight line. We should use streets boundaries like we do in the other boundary descriptions. Criticalthinker (talk) 19:33, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
