I couldn’t get a good approach feed for my flight into midway (multiple frequencies on the same feed gives me the ick lol) so I just didn’t use any atc for my video. But cool night landing. I also had a firm landing at MDW.
There is a very good reason why landings at midway are “firm”. Short runway requires a quick stop so the plane doesn’t have time to float down the runway.

They’re all firm landings!
Midway is one of those specific airports. The runways are short and a fully loaded 737-800 has to use flaps 25 to take off.
