The first tram (streetcar) line in Warsaw was opened on 11 December 1866. The last horse-drawn tram run on 26 March 1908. In the period between the world wars, the tram network was nationalized and extended significantly. After the Defence War of 1939 the service was halted for approximately three months due to war losses. However, by 1940 the trams were back on track. In 1941 the present colours of the cars were introduced (yellow and red, in the Flag of Warsaw colours.

Warsaw, the county seat since 1730, was originally called Richmond County Courthouse. It was renamed Warsaw in 1831 in sympathy for the Polish struggle for liberty. At Historic St. John’s Church is the site of the William Atkinson Jones Memorial Monument, a gift from the Philippine people. Jones was a congressman who sponsored the bill for Philippine independence in 1916.

The Warsaw Indians got their first win of the year in easy fashion Thursday night with a 12-0 win against the Mishawaka Brewers. In the first inning Warsaw sent 11 men to the plate and scored 6 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks. The biggest blows of the inning came in the form of a Matty Miller 3 run homerun and a Kory Vanderford 2 run single. Up 7-0 headed to the 5th Warsaw scored again when John Edwards led off with a single and later scored on a Geoff Walmer single. Warsaw blew the game completely open in the 6th when they scored 4 more times on 3 hits, a walk and a hit batter. Nate Hart had a two run double and Chris Gavranic an RBI double in the inning.

An integral part of the city's music scene, Warsaw (located inside the Polish National Home, in Williamsburg) has played host to outré newcomers (Le Tigre, the New Pornographers), as well as still-relevant favorites (Patti Smith). It's a discerning balance that most clubs—with their unsubstantial underground acts or museum-worthy oldies bands—fail to achieve. Warsaw's high ceilings, good sight lines, and clear sound make the venue one of the city's premier nightlife destinations—in any borough.

Likely to be most visitors' first experience of Poland, Warsaw makes an initial impression that is all too often negative. The years of communist rule have left no great aesthetic glories, and there's sometimes a hollowness to the faithful reconstructions of earlier eras. However, as throughout Poland, the pace of social change is tangible and fascinating, as the openings provided by the post-communist order turn the streets into a continuous marketplace. Many of the once grey and tawdry state shopfronts of the city centre have given way to a host of colourful new private initiatives, while the postwar dearth of nightlife and entertainments has become a complaint of the past now that a mass of new bars, restaurants and clubs have established themselves.

Warsaw is the capital of Poland with appr. 1.7 million people living here. Best time to visit is from early April to middle of November. However, you will not find gay bars and dance clubs or cafés for a specific audience (like a leather bar, a rent boy bar, a bar for chubbies, etc.). Everyone goes to the same places (age or preference doesn't matter).
