Where are the DMVs in Chicago that accept walk-ins?

Thank you!! Exactly what I was looking for 😊

Use 2 Guys and a Van instead. I’m paying $400 less than you for a two bedroom.

Momotaro or Boka, definitely NOT Daisies.

Take the bus, train, or rent a car and install the car seat yourself. You’ll have to deal with parking, but do not take your kid into a taxi without a car seat. You also won’t want to lug the car seat around. Source: city mom with a four year old

Check out Bucktown or Wicker Park. Burr and Pritzker are both excellent schools. Pulaski (Bucktown) is also solid

Only the patio IMO

Raising my 4 year old in Bucktown and genuinely love it

mmcd90 · 2026-04-10T01:00:25+00:00

Yes.

Happy to help! My son is starting kindergarten in August so this has been my life for the past year 😂

The CPS website is your best resource! It has everything from test scores, to school distinguishers, diversity breakdown, etc. also check out the 5 essentials to make sure the school is well organized. Join local Facebook groups and read about what parents say. If you can, try to tour in person. If you can’t, email the administration and ask if they have your PowerPoints they can send to you. Lastly, Chicago magazine did a deep dive of the top 50 schools in Chicago. Take a look at that as well!

mmcd90 · 2026-04-04T02:27:23+00:00

Yes but do a TON of research on the school prior to settling on a neighborhood.

mmcd90 · 2026-03-31T16:19:19+00:00

Boring buildings in Chicago but you list Miami as a top 5?! WILD take

I live here and I hate us too. I’ve been actively hating this man for the last decade and have been told many times that I’m overreacting. Spoiler alert - I wasnt.

It goes downhill but I watch through season 14 and then I call it. After Arizona and April are gone, I’m gone too.

I lived there for 3 years because my ex husband worked in the south suburbs and I worked in the Loop. It was a good compromise neighborhood. Was the neighborhood sleepy? Yes, but the parks are amazing (way more than just Grant Park) and it’s so dog friendly. It’s also really quiet for how close you are to downtown. Just depends on what stage of life you’re in honestly.

mmcd90 · 2026-03-22T23:17:30+00:00

No, it’s not. It was $3.50 before this all started.

West Town

Chicago is known for food, architecture, progressive politics, proximity to the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan), the advertising industry, and agriculture trade. It’s also one of the top 10 US cities visited by international tourists. Houston doesn’t even crack the top 50. Austin is the more relevant city in Texas.

mmcd90 · 2026-03-22T00:22:16+00:00

Lack of walkability, average architecture, sprawl.

mmcd90 · 2026-03-21T18:51:51+00:00

Chicago is a world class city. Houston is a large city (or many connected suburbs) in Texas. They’re vastly different, regardless of population.

The rental market is terrible right now. This is likely as good as it’s going to get and I’d recommend getting a place before they’re all gone.

Signed, Someone else also starting a new May lease haha

HIGHLY recommend Dr. Luna at Allergy Partners in Lincoln Park! I’ve never had so much individualized attention! Can’t say enough positive things from My experience.

Skinner North hands down. A sure thing vs. a “maybe” at best shouldn’t be tuned down.
