Pulaski Road is a major north-south thoroughfare in the city of Chicago, at 4000 W., or exactly five miles west of State Street. It is named after revolutionary war hero Casimir Pulaski. It still retains its former name, Crawford Avenue, in the north suburbs of Lincolnwood, Skokie, Evanston and Wilmette, north of Devon Avenue (6400 N) and south from the Chicago City Limits to Lincoln Highway US-30. NOT TRUE about South Suburbs. Check the facts.

At Archer Avenue (approximately 50th Street), Pulaski passes by Curie Metro High School, named for another famous Pole. At 65th Street sits the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture, and at 75th Street is Richard J. Daley College, one of the City Colleges of Chicago. Brother Rice High School is at 100th Street. At 111th Street sits the campus of the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, home to the last remaining farm within the Chicago city limits, which stretches south to 115th.
