Jak se socializujete? Mě to nějak nejde. Ano drtvi čas jsem spokojená sama ale občas bych chtěla si s někým povídat a zajít na tepelný nápoj. Moc ti vztahy udržovat neumím ale nebo jsou všichni daleko. Ano, jsem z Plzně a Praha není až tak daleko ale furt to něco stojí. A jet na jedno kafe hodinu a půl tam a hodinu a půl zpátky... Je to děs

So I've been recently to Chicago on holiday and loved the city even more the second time around for many many reasons (theatre, baseball, architecture, the food!). If only I could have stayed... However, visiting Chicago, I obviously went on a little OneChicago location pilgrimage. Any other year, I would have probably found them there filming, but with the strikes going on, no one was around. But it was so great and fun all the same and I'm really glad I did it!
The first night in town I went to Lottie's aka Molly's. It's a really lovely and friendly pub (even kids were there!) and, being a Friday evening, it was in full swing. I managed to get a table and have dinner there. Indoors, it's exactly as you see it on the show. They have done a marvelous job at re-creating it on the sound stage, down to the very finest details like the art noveau style lamp. However, it's not *that* big as a space and I guess it might have been quite difficult to film there with a big cast, crew and all the filming apparatus, besides being quite expensive. Logicistically, it might have been a nightmare, especially if they started to use it for the other two shows besides Fire (speaking of, stop using that ugly Turtles in PD, ok?).
I sampled the Chicago Fire burger for dinner (boy, was it hot! alas no veggie/vegan versions) and the Molly's by Day beer (it was ok). They also have a PD and Med burger.
On a different day, as I was planning to go to Pilsen (check out the National Museum of Mexican Art if there!), I visited the outdoors locations for Fire and PD. First, I went to the Fire Academy, which is THE real academy and, as Chicagoans have a great sense of humour, it was built on the spot where the Great Chicago Fire started. You can enter in the foyer and check a few paraphernalia, including the statue of a rescue dog (miss you, Tuesday 😭). From there, you can also see the corridor that they often use in scenes where the wall with all the badges of fallen firefighters are.
Not far from there, as part of the University of Illinois campus, you can find the 21st District. It used to be a proper district and is now used by the campus police, I think (as someone who works in a uni, it's mind-boggling to me that you should have law enforcement on campus...). There wasn't much movement around there, but you can clearly recognise the steps and entrance.
Last, but certainly not least, Firehouse 51!!! This was probably the most exciting bit for me. It is a working firehouse so when they film they need to work around that. There doesn't seem to be any modification made for shooting as it appears exactly as it is on screen. When I got there, only the truck was in. A couple who was there for the same fangirling reason were also taking pictures and said you could talk to the firefighthers and might go in. I decided not to as they are indeed working and they must be so tired of showing rabid fans (being ironic!) around. If truck was enjoying their time on the couch, who am I to disturb them?
A couple of pictures with my ugly mug under the cut.
