The neighborhood's Polish heritage runs deep: Milwaukee Avenue anchored a contiguous stretch of Polish settlement from Polonia Triangle to Irving Park Road, and firms like Slupkowski and Piontek built the Art Deco headquarters of the Polish National Alliance here. Ties to Logan Square, Chicago and Poland reflect that shared cultural corridor. The neighborhood's name may trace to the Avondale coal mine fire in Pennsylvania.
