Magnificent Mile - Chicago, Illinois

Magnificent Mile - Chicago, Illinois All the big names in shopping are present here, from Disney and Niketown to Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue. The areas around the Magnificent Mile are some of Chicago’s wealthiest.

In 1947, when the North Michigan Avenue already had become Chicago’s most fashionable street, real estate developer Arthur Rubloff - who had ambitious plans for the avenue - dubbed North Michigan Avenue ‘Magnificent Mile’. The name stuck and in 2001 it was even trademarked.

If you want to visit the exquisite shops, see fabulous architecture, rub shoulders with the rich and famous and perhaps find the "buy of a lifetime" you will truly enjoy the "Magnificent Mile" in Chicago!
