It’s hard to imagine given how small this scruffy little plaza is today, but there used to be a whole building on top of Chicago’s Polish Triangle. Even the term "Polish Triangle" is a relatively recent coinage, dating to the 1960s or 1970s. There's a reason Nelson Algren and his ilk always called the area Polish Downtown and Division Street Polish Broadway–until the Klee Bros. building was torn down, the triangular shape of the lot wasn't a particularly visible part of the cityscape.
