Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 18hMy 6yo just lost a tooth and wrote the Tooth Fairy a letter asking for a billion dollars for it. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, I guess. 🤣 070
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I do find it interesting when people complain about both disinvestment AND gentrification at the same time. 030

Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Clearly the community doesn't care too strongly about this development, which seems to be a stamp of approval. 050
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah but is it actually 4 minutes to the Loop? With the blue line's slow zones these days, it might be slower than in the 1950s. 041
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If you ride transit in Chicagoland, you should take this survey. 0259
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It's SO bad this time of year! There's really no need to ever show an R-rated movie trailer in the middle of the afternoon, but especially horror movies. 010
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It hadn't even occurred to me that this would vary by ward, and now I'm so mad. This rule in the 2nd Ward seems very clearly designed to prevent people who live in dense areas from having block parties bc it would inconvenience drivers. 020
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Apple Fest feels crowded because our streets are devoted to cars. Expanding the festival to meet demand is too difficult & expensive bc of traffic planning & parking meter payouts. The people yearn for more permanently pedestrianized spaces with regular programming! 0110
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I wish Chicago did this. I'm currently trying to get signatures from half my neighbors for a block party permit on Halloween. It's a very frustrating process. 7617
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You'd think that they could put it on with a left-turn arrow!!! 000
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We were mainly on greenways and side streets, but we did have to go on Clark for two blocks crossing Diversey. 020
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 29/09/2026A friend is visiting us from Amsterdam, and we made him bike up to Lakeview for dinner like some sort of hazing ritual. 1381
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It makes me so angry every time I ride there. It’s such a huge middle finger to cyclists. 020
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 25/09/2026There's nothing you can't do with a blue Tern GSD. 030
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Heyyy let's go! There are already plenty of vintage buildings like this with coach houses, so this is just fitting in with the existing neighborhood character. 000
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Like the Clark bike lane that just ends in River North. That pisses me off every single time. 130
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 24/09/2026My husband was just a few minutes behind you! Wells is very overdue for a bike lane upgrade. It is HEAVILY used for commuting. 130
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I loved this so much. I think my favorite was the parenthetical that Greenfield hasn’t recorded a Covid case in 2 months. 050
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 22/09/2026And it's never going to get colder than this! It'll just stay this perfectly brisk temperature forever and never snow!!! 050
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Unfortunately, I feel like this has happened before. 160
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Uh oh. The 4-month sleep regression is coming. Enjoy the sleep while you can! Once you get past that, though, you'll be golden. 000
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 21/09/2026No one should ever move. If you’re from a small rural town with no jobs, too bad. If you want to be a marine biologist but you’re from Nebraska, too bad. Big cities are only for people who were born there. Go back to where you came from, but wokely. 040
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Around 4pm, we decided to party anyway. It’s great to have neighbors who will stand around in the rain to drink beer with one another! 0110
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 20/09/2026In hindsight, today might not have been the best day to have a block party. 040
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Lincoln Park Kidical Mass is CANCELLED for Sunday 9/20 due to thunderstorms on the forecast. Hope to see you for our final ride of the season on Halloween! 🎃 033
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 19/09/2026A mom at my Lincoln Park school texted me last night about wanting to start one! 150
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The breakfast one is easy: Lou Mitchell's Dinner: Italian Village. They have a few concepts in the same building. I like their basement space, which is a little more modern. The upstairs is full vintage kitsch. The food is great all around. 120
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I think so? If you're transferring in from a private school after K and 1st, they'll put your kid in 2nd regardless of birthdate. I think. That's what my neighbor told me who is redshirting her son. IDK bc my son is a March baby, so we didn't deal with any of this. 100
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Michigan used to have a December 1 cut-off, which was insane. My SIL started college at 17 bc of her November birthday, but my husband was the oldest in his class bc of his December birthday. 020
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I recently learned that CPS won't accept a red-shirted kid until 2nd grade. If you go private for kindergarten and come back in 1st grade, they'll skip them to 2nd grade. So you're looking at an extra year of daycare AND 2 years of private school tuition. A pretty big disincentive for most families! 120
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 10/09/2026For a brief moment, my bestie's husband wanted to redshirt their son, who was born in MARCH. I was like, you can't do that because he'll be 19 when he graduates high school! (He just started kindergarten 3 weeks ago at 5-years-old and is doing great.) 120
Molly Fleck @mollyfleck.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Why would you voluntarily pay for an extra year of daycare?! 230
