The Magnificent Mile, sometimes referred to as The Mag Mile,
is a neighborhood in Chicago,
that runs along a portion of Michigan Avenue extending from the Chicago
River to Oak Street. It serves as the main thoroughfare
between Chicago's Loop business district and its Gold Coast.[2]
Real estate developer Arthur Rubloff gave the
nickname to one of the city's most prestigious residential and commercial
thoroughfares in the 1940s.[1]
Currently, Chicago's largest shopping district, various mid-range and high-end
shops line this section of the street and approximately 3,100,000 square feet
(290,000 m2) is currently occupied by retail stores, restaurants,
museums and motels.[3]
It includes fine restaurants, hotels, and stores and several of the tallest
buildings in the United States. In addition, numerous prestigious buildings are
located along the Magnificent Mile, such as the Wrigley
Building and the John Hancock Center, places listed on the National Register of Historic
Places such as The Old Chicago Water Tower District
and Chicago Landmarks such as Tribune
Tower and the Allerton Hotel.
