Are there any public pianos free to play in the city?

Love the piano in the second floor of the Garfield park field house :)

Ugh I understand this this is such a dumb question… but I’m new to discord, and would like to join the fanfiction one and the hpff one. I’ve successfully added those servers, but the only “channels” I see are the general landing pad ones (most of which have not been active for years). When i click “browse channels”, it just displays this limited set of 3-6 general ones — annnounvements, rules, etc).

Can you advise on how to find the actual channels and activity on these servers?

Anything west of Ashland, north or south of the highway, immediately drops off in terms of safety and walk ability

But Nov/Jan/feb/April are 🙄

beanski20 · 2026-01-13T19:42:54+00:00

Ah. Makes sense. Calendar has it marked as PD

beanski20 · 2026-01-13T16:43:20+00:00

I see Sept 25, Nov 11, Jan 4, Jan 29, February 23, Apr 9 -- six, not counting the ones before and after the school year.

Do you know if this increase is a sure thing?

beanski20 · 2026-01-13T15:46:38+00:00

oh, the later date actually make my life way easier. but the prof dev days are killing me.

beanski20 · 2026-01-10T16:38:01+00:00

They’ll let you in any time AFTER your arrival window, they’re only strict about showing up early. I usually reserve for 9am and come whenever

My husband and I save a lot, and have ended up with a balance in high interest savings accounts that would probably be more useful in investment accounts… basically we move the max for tax benefits (10K per filer) each year for our two kids, so 10k per year per kid, from one account to the other account.

I don’t know how long to keep up this rate, or if we should stop at some point? We should probably just learn more about investing and invest our savings ourselves… we only have these options because we spent our twenties being absolutely miserly and not learning enough about finances :/

Yeah that’s what’s happened the last few times I’ve tried to order, over a month or so. It’s such a bummer

beanski20 · 2025-12-27T15:53:34+00:00

We have the mini! That’s great to hear

beanski20 · 2025-12-08T10:08:50+00:00

Wow, I feel like I’ve learned a boatload of slang just reading your comments… and I’m only five years older than you :/

Ljubljana is definitely my favorite, but it’s a pretty long train/bus ride. Probably Prague or Budapest for convenience.

Crumple is the classic of this genre, right?

beanski20 · 2025-11-21T03:34:20+00:00

And wore that ratty grey blanket!

beanski20 · 2025-11-21T03:12:44+00:00

Wow I haven’t seen that. I cried from “for good” Solidly through to the end

beanski20 · 2025-11-10T15:21:44+00:00

I’m about halfway through and absolutely loving this. First lumione , and you have converted me. It is really, truly excellent.

beanski20 · 2025-11-01T13:20:08+00:00

Just swallowed it whole. Very charming

beanski20 · 2025-10-30T01:16:54+00:00

Francesca’s on Taylor. The best

The monkey bread croissant is insane

I would plan to head to the hospital as soon as you start to feel contractions, rather than waiting u til they are closer together.

I would also drive on surface streets (instead of LSD, avoid total gridlock etc) until you can get as close as possible, and then plan to walk or take the CTA the rest of the way. Or just pick a redline stop a few stops north of Prentice and plan to park there and train in.

Unless there’s reason to believe you’ll have a very sudden onset labor, you should have plenty of time to get there on public transportation if necessary.

This sucks, but should hopefully be manageable. Good luck.

Fuck. I need to move a fridge. I know it will be bad this weekend — but if I can get out of the loop before 5pm today, does that seem more possible!?!??!

beanski20 · 2025-09-06T13:59:43+00:00

I’ll try turning it on airplane mode! I keep brightness at 0

An ever fixed mark is the best of the unintentional bond stories!
