(Frances Kulik – My View, Buffalo News)<\/em> I can remember it as if it was yesterday. A long ago yesterday, when I was a child. Saturday morning my Mom and Dad would go to the Broadway Market to fill our weekly larder.<\/p>\n

I remember the early market days, when stalls laden with wonderful vegetables, fruits and baked goods stood along Broadway under tarp tents. It was a simple area where the farmers came to sell their wares. Underneath and in between the stalls were crates with live chickens, ducks and rabbits for sale.<\/p>\n

Listening to the people talk \u2014 especially the old men who stood in groups with their hands folded behind their backs \u2014 was something I loved to hear even if I didn\u2019t understand them. They spoke their own language, which was usually Polish.<\/p>\n

Is it a European thing to stand with hands folded behind the back? I have seen this many times in movies, and a friend visiting from England was observed doing the same thing. Curious!<\/p>\n
