Can I see Comet Mc Naught in the evening or morning on the north side of Chicago and for how long?

Question

What time in the morning or evening is best for viewing and should I be high up in a building above the city lights or go to Evanston to see the comet weather permitting and whether the comet actually visible in the Chicago area. Thanks!
