Had a Chicago Fire day today, visited the firehouse and ate at Molly's!

My wife is a big fan of the show, and she got me into it as well. Our big family trip this summer was to Chicago, so we closed out our time in Chicago by visiting Firehouse 51 and having lunch at Molly's!

The house itself is in a nice area, we were shown around by a rookie firefighter on his very first shift. Didn't get to go inside, but he showed us around the trucks and let my son climb up inside them. He told us they have a staging area with a large white tent where they bring the trucks when filming is taking place. Turns out we missed filming by less than 24 hours, as they are filming starting around 6am 7/30(they are closing off certain areas around 3am) until 8pm. We are actually lucky we weren't there, as we apparently wouldn't really be able to get close and wouldn't have gotten to tour the firehouse. Awesome experience, our "tour guide" was very friendly and answered all our questions. Cool to see it come to life.

We then traveled to Lottie's Pub, which serves as "Molly's" in the show (one of their motto's is 'Molly's by day, Lottie's by night). It's a piece of history, not just for the show, but in that it was used during prohibition and has quite the backstreet. Its got a great neighborhood around it, and as we ate the outdoor seating filled up with families and locals. I had to try their "Chicago Fire" burger of course(they have a Med and PD sandwich as well). It was honestly one of the best burgers I have had in a while. My picky wife had a burger as well of her own creation and loved it, and my even pickier son ate all of his chicken tenders, a rare feat. They sell Molly's merchandise at the bar(I saw shirts and hats, pretty sure they have more).

Just an awesome experience all around, and I highly recommend it to fans visiting Chicago. We stayed downtown and it was a nice break from the noise and fast pace of the city.

I came from NY and visited Firehouse 51 today in person in Chicago! Someone at Chicago Fire Engine 18 saw me taking pictures and welcomed me inside and gave me a small tour. Chicago firefighters are so cool!

I hate Gabby Dawson as a character in this show.

340 Upvotes

I just started season 7 where Gabby leaves the show and honestly I am so glad, I couldn't stand looking at her for another second.

I love the show it's been great after finishing Chicago PD and seeing all the crossovers. I just don't understand why Gabby was such a big focus in Chicago Fire. The first 2 seasons it was okay, by the time season 5 rolled around with Louie I started to fast forward through episodes where Gabby is part of the scene. Eventually, I thought her character would turn around and become better but she just kept digging herself further and further into a hole.

She was terrible to Matt Casey, always making rash decisions and never taking into consideration what it means to him. For example, her making the decision of wanting to get pregnant despite the risk and yet never directly discussing what it would mean for Casey if she died during child birth.

Finally, I think the shows writers had 0 clue what they were doing with her. I don't know if she's supposed to be a hero or a dumbass but somehow even after everything she put Casey through he still ended up saying "hey its ok this is what you're meant to do go for it."

Thanks for reading, I just felt this urge to write something about Dawson's character because for 2 seasons now I absolutely couldn't stand her anymore.

The doors were mirrored and the phone number listed didn't work so we didn't want to intrude but it was still really neat to see. They had the labeling on it from the show. It's a cool location. The downtown skyline at the end of the road you see on the show is real too.

This show has had many hateable characters but there's not a single one I want to roundhouse more than this guy.
