So I am in the very early stages of planning a buff trip to Chicago and Detroit with another Fire Buff from Minnesota we are planning on driving over and making a few stops for apparatus on our way. 

First off for Chicago any tips tricks hints advise for scene shooting? we plan on just listening to online Feed for calls as we dont really know if there are any other ways to listen. as of now the plan is to stay just south of Midway Airport and spend 2 or 3 days in Chicago hitting Apparatus/Stations and Scenes.  


Detroit: any recommended areas we should stage in? stay away from? same type of plan hit 3 or so days in detroit scenes Apparatus and stations during the day. 

Any assistance would be very much appreciated as neither of us have been to either city before. the trip is planned for Early may 2019.
