Ray Dudgeon's Chicago...
Here are some locations found in Big City, Bad Blood. I'll be adding more later (and even some movie clips) so check back again.
CPD Area 4 Headquarters is where Ray visits Lt. Mike Angleo (p.57) to provide information about an apparent suicide that Ray suspects is murder. It's also where Ray is held overnight and interrogated (p.165), making a bad night even worse.
Ray meets with cabbie Ramon Gonzalez at The South Loop Club (p.120). Not a bad joint for a hunted man to meet; the place has multiple exits. . .and large windows all around, so you can see who's coming. Good burgers, too.
Ray has to deal with a very bad man, and their meeting takes place in this sparsely-populated garage at the corner of Polk and Spaulding. . .in the middle of the night (p.158). Not an ideal situation.
The interior of the real garage is not what I imagined, (I wanted one with four underground levels and bad lighting) so I took liberties. The following shots are of an different garage on the south side, but it's how I see the meeting place.

Radio Ad...
Big City, Bad Blood has its very own radio ad. To hear it, click on the radio tower on the left (player will open in a new window).
