While Tony was here, we went to Molly’s Cupcakes twice to eat their delicious confections.  I have never even heard the Ron and Fez show, but Tony is a huge fan and apparently Molly’s Cupcakes is featured on the show.  Ron even has his own cupcake there.  You don’t exactly have to twist my arm to get me to eat delicious cupcakes.  We went once on Friday and then again on Sunday so he could get some to take home with him.  I can definitely say they were the best cupcakes I have ever eaten.  My favorite was the smores one, but they were all really good.  The cupcakes were like $3.50 each which I’ve seen some people online complaining about, but come on!  You can’t compare them to cupcakes you would make at home, you have to compare them to like a desert at a restaurant or something.  I guarantee you can’t get an equally delicious desert at a restaurant for $3.50.  Anyway, the owner was super nice.  Tony had me take his picture with him and when we came back on Sunday he totally remembered us and everything.  You can also sit on these little swing things and design your own cupcakes, but we didn’t do that.  So anyway, if you are in Lincoln Park you should definitely check the place out, you will not be disappointed!

On the other hand, boo to you city of Chicago!  We could not find the Metra station we were looking for in Millennium Park and the person in the Millennium Park Chicago Information booth DIDN’T KNOW WHERE IT WAS!  She gave us a map and said, “Hmm, it looks like it should be right here.”  Then she proceeded to use a highlighter on the ENTIRE BLOCK on the map.  Thanks so much!  5 minutes later we found a Policeman and asked him.  He said (in a completely sincere and not sarcastic voice), “Maybe you can find another officer who knows something.”  We ended up hoofing it over to the next station and buying our tickets just as the train was pulling up (no train for another hour and a half or so after that one) and ended up buying a more expensive one than we needed in the rush.  I can understand the cop not knowing; maybe it was his first day working that area or something.  But the Information Booth??  They serve no purpose other than to answer questions and they were apparently literally on top of the station.

City of Chicago, FAIL!
