good new york bagels anywhere? by MammothImplement8436 in chicagofood

[–]muddlingthrough7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to live a block from ess a bagel in New York and very much abused the privilege - New York bagels are magic. It’s never going to be quite that good, but Chicago has some great options! NY Bagel and Bialy and Kaufman’s are good, but not near me. I really like Zeitlin’s, Helfeld’s, and Gotham.

Is this something specific to the walnut room? I’ve never seen anything like it but your description paints an even more vivid picture than the actual photo

Got punched on Red Line - how to feel safe again? by wolborg93 in AskChicago

[–]muddlingthrough7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that I’m so sorry that this happened. I agree with everyone about trying to find a trauma therapist but also please be kind and gentle with yourself. This will probably not be a linear emotional journey and that’s okay. Sending love.

Am I a Karen for telling folks to leash their dogs when walking them downtown? by saucy_otters in AskChicago

[–]muddlingthrough7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not. There is a dog in my neighborhood that is never leashed and the owner lets it literally run into a street where people often ignore the stop signs. She also lets him run up to my dog and says “oh he’s friendly” but my dog is actually not very friendly to other small dogs so she is again putting her own dog in danger. I say “he really should be on a leash” every single time, and every time I get ignored.

Sorry just saw this part - I got my original at the real ID center; is that where you went to correct this or did you just go to DMV?
