I have just been using Google Maps for places really. But yeah, we'll need actual places for sure. A few coffee places. Like Javabucks.. Some Bars, Bad Guy Hangouts and Evil lairs. There is a Super Cafe under the sewers, that a Rosie the Riveter runs.

I usually use picture art myself. 

Ones like the one below to depict a place or give an idea of its ambiance as well as a small description that others are encouraged to build on. I find a mix of visual aids and writing helps with visualization a scene rather well. I have additional other images like the one in the hider which I can scrap up and make a brief overview. If I can't find an image, I usually just use a small description paragraph for others.
