"Look for fireballs that seem to originate from the constellation Perseus (the hero of Greek mythology who killed Medusa), low in the northeast part of the sky after midnight. No matter where you are watching in the country, the show gets better as it gets darker; between 1 and 5 am on Aug. 13 is prime time. And don't despair if the weather is cloudy, because you'll be able to see meteors up to two days before and after the peak."

The Perseid meteor showers are so called because the meteors appear to originiate from the constellation Perseus. Look there.

Look North, if u can see all the stars in the little dipper then the light pollution shouldn't affect your viewing.
