An easy way to make sure you get a location correct is to try and use
those you yourself have been and know reasonably well. When my players
went to see a fixer in an abandoned store, I used the layout of a store I
worked in a few years ago, for example. The advantage is that you'll have
a good picture of what is where (and why) and can hopefully make the
players see it more easily than when you're trying to come up with a
believable building on the fly.
