Magnificent Mile

'''The Magnificent Mile''', sometimes referred to as '''The Mag Mile''', is a [[Neighborhoods of Chicago|neighborhood]] in [[Chicago, IL|Chicago]], [[Illinois]], that runs along a portion of [[Michigan Avenue (Chicago)|Michigan Avenue]] extending from the [[Chicago River]] to [[Oak Street (Chicago)|Oak Street]] in the [[Near North Side, Chicago|Near North Side]] [[Community areas of Chicago|community area]]. The district is located adjacent to downtown; it is also one block east of [[Rush Street (Chicago)|Rush Street]], which is known for its [[nightlife]]. The Magnificent Mile serves as the main thoroughfare between Chicago's [[Chicago Loop|Loop business district]] and its [[Near North Side, Chicago#Gold Coast|Gold Coast]]. It also serves as the western boundary of the [[Streeterville]] neighborhood. [[Real estate developer]] Arthur Rubloff of [[Rubloff Company]] gave the nickname to one of the city's most prestigious residential and commercial thoroughfares in the 1940s. Currently, Chicago's largest shopping district, various mid-range and high-end shops line this section of the street and approximately {{convert|3100000|sqft|m2}} is currently occupied by retail stores, restaurants, museums and motels. 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 Landmark]]s such as [[Tribune Tower]] and the [[Allerton Hotel]]. ==History== [[Image:20070509 Foot of Magnificent Mile.JPG|thumb|left|View north from the foot of the Magnificent Mile in the [[Michigan–Wacker Historic District]]: the [[Beaux-Arts architecture|Beaux Arts]] [[Wrigley Building]] (left) and [[Gothic Revival architecture|neo-Gothic]] [[Tribune Tower]]]] After the [[Great Chicago Fire]] of 1871, [[State Street (Chicago)|State Street]] (anchored by [[Marshall Field's]]) in the downtown [[Chicago Loop|Loop]], especially the [[Loop Retail Historic District]], was the city's retailing center. The convenience of [[mass transit]] including [[streetcars]] and [[Chicago 'L'|elevated trains]], supported a retail corridor along State Street from [[Lake Street, Chicago|Lake Street]] to Van Buren Street. By the 1920s, commuter suburbs began to have significant retail districts. Prior to the [[bascule bridge]] construction, [[swing bridges]] across the river were open for ship traffic during half the daylight hours. The [[Rush Street Bridge]] was the swing bridge for this area. The opening of the Michigan Avenue Bridge in 1920 created a new commercial district. After 1950, suburban development reduced the role of the Loop's daily significance to many Chicagoans as downtown retail sales slipped. However, the Magnificent Mile kept a luxury shopping district close to the central business district. The concept for the Magnificent Mile was actually part of [[Daniel Burnham]]'s [[Plan of Chicago]]. It was constructed during the 1920s to replace Pine Street, which had formerly been lined with [[factories|factory]] and [[warehouse]]s near the river and fine [[mansion]] and [[rowhouse]] residences farther north. The earliest building constructions varied in style, but challenged new heights in construction. The name the "Magnificent Mile" is a [[registered trademark]] of the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association (GNMAA). After the [[Great Depression]] and World War II, Arthur Rubloff and [[William Zeckendorf]] bought or controlled most of the property along this stretch of the avenue and supported a plan by [[Holabird & Roche|Holabird & Root]] to construct new buildings and renovation of old ones that took advantage of new [[zoning]] laws. Soon the property values driven by the luxury shopping districts were pricing out the nearby artists of Towertown, just south west of the [[Chicago Water Tower]]. Having acquired most of the rights to property along the Magnificent Mile at Depression-level prices, Rubloff and Zeckendorf successfully developed and promoted the area until it became one of the most prestigious addresses of the city. That distinction continues to hold today, and spurred the continuing erection of more high-rise apartments and new investment along the Magnificent Mile and throughout the Near North Side. The opening of the 74-story [[Water Tower Place]] in 1975 marked the return of Chicago to retailing prominence. By 1979, the State Street commercial corridor had lost its commercial vitality and was closed to street traffic for renovation including sidewalk widening until 1996. ===Overview=== Today, The Magnificent Mile contains a mixture of upscale [[department store]]s, [[restaurant]]s, luxury retailers, residential and commercial buildings, financial services companies and [[hotel]]s, and caters primarily to [[tourist]]s and the affluent. The area also has a high concentration of the city's major [[Mass media|media]] firms, such as the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' newspaper, and [[advertising agency|advertising agencies]]. The Magnificent Mile includes {{convert|3100000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} of retail space, 460 stores, 275 restaurants, 51 hotels, and a host of sightseeing and entertainment attractions to more than 22 million visitors annually. The [[American Planning Association]] selected The Magnificent Mile as one of the 10 Great Streets for 2007 through its Great Places in America program. In recent years, The Magnificent Mile has added trees and flower-filled medians to reflect the changing seasons. Many of the world's leading retail stores populate The Magnificent Mile, including department stores such as [[Bloomingdale's]], [[Neiman Marcus]], [[Saks Fifth Avenue]], [[Nordstrom]], and [[Barneys New York]]. In addition, some of the finest luxury boutiques such as [[Cartier SA|Cartier]], [[Escada]], [[Bulgari]], [[Van Cleef & Arpels]], [[Chanel]], [[Vera Wang]], [[Jimmy Choo]], [[Georg Jensen]], [[Harry Winston]], [[Tory Burch]], [[St. John (store)|St. John]], [[Loro Piana]], [[Jil Sander]], [[Givenchy]], [[Aritzia]], [[Stuart Weitzman]], [[Prada]], [[Paul Stuart]], [[Betsey Johnson]], [[Montblanc (pens)|Montblanc]], [[Anne Fontaine (clothing brand)|Anne Fontaine]], [[Marc Jacobs]], [[Ralph Lauren]], [[Bottega Veneta]], [[Hermès]], [[Gucci]], [[Louis Vuitton]], [[Cole Haan]], [[Charles David]], [[Giorgio Armani]], [[Kenneth Cole Productions|Kenneth Cole]], [[Salvatore Ferragamo]], [[Ermenegildo Zegna]], [[Brooks Brothers]], [[Burberry]], [[Hugo Boss]], [[La Perla]], [[Agent Provocateur (lingerie)|Agent Provocateur]], [[Dennis Basso]], [[Piazza Sempione]], [[Fratelli Rosseti]], [[Hickey Freeman]], [[Jil Sander]], [[Henry Beguelin]], [[Juicy Couture]], [[Michael Kors]], [[Bernadaud]], [[Christofle]], [[Arthur]], [[Sermoneta]], [[Manrico Cashmere]], [[Marlowe]], [[Graff Diamonds]], [[David Yurman]], [[Fogal]], [[Wolford]], [[Frette]], [[Pratesi]], [[Culti]], [[Tiffany & Co.]], and [[Guess (clothing)|Guess]] are located along The Magnificent Mile. In fact, in its book ''The 10 Best of Everything: An Ultimate Guide for Travelers'', the ''[[National Geographic]]'' named The Magnificent Mile along with [[Rodeo Drive]] and [[Fifth Avenue]] as one of the ten best shopping avenues in the world. Renowned and critically acclaimed restaurants such as The Signature Room at The 95th, Spiaggia, Tru, The Pump Room, Lawry's, The Grand Lux, The Park Hyatt Room, The Prime Rib, and Spago provide a variety of dining options. All three of the 5-star hotels located in the [[midwest]] ([[The Peninsula Chicago]], [[Four Seasons Hotel Chicago]], and [[Ritz-Carlton Chicago (A Four Seasons Hotel)|Ritz-Carlton Chicago]]) and [[Illinois]]' only 4-star hotel ([[Park Tower (Chicago)|Park Hyatt]]) are located within about five blocks along The Magnificent Mile.

This change is signaled by several official events: Median planters were constructed as part of a streetscape improvement project in 1994. In the spring, Tulips on The Magnificent Mile occurs from mid April until the end of May. Hundreds of thousands of [[tulips]] bloom on The Magnificent Mile. Typically, they bloom between April 16 and May 7. In 2008, a public art installation of kinetic sculptures designed by local and international architects was placed in the garden beds. During the summer, the "Gardens of The Magnificent Mile" festival event occurs. It is a self-guided landscape display walking tour. In 2007 and 2008, fashion dress forms graced the garden beds. The forms were designed by students from the Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago and the International Academy of Design and Technology, as well as prominent designers located on the Avenue. In 2009 and 2010 the first ever Summer Concert Series presented by Walgreens brought top level musical talent to the Avenue for free lunchtime shows for guest, locals and employees of the Avenue. Past artists include: Collective Soul, Better Than Ezra, Mat Kearney, Michael Franti, Kris Allen and Guster. [[Image:20070509 Tulip Days.JPG|thumb|right|2007 [[Tulip]] Days on The Magnificent Mile with [[Chicago Transit Authority|CTA]] bus in view]] The tradition of lighting the trees of The Magnificent Mile to start the holiday season extends for more than forty years. More than one million lights are lit and fireworks follow the event. 2010 will host the 19th annual [[Magnificent Mile Lights Festival]], presented by Harris, which will be the annual kick-off to the nation's holiday season. The day of the event has special activities and offers across Magnificent Mile businesses, plus interactive holiday booths in Pioneer Court and a free concert with free concerts featuring popular artists all afternoon on the Harris Stage (past artists have included Jason Mraz, Mitchel Musso, Cheetah Girls, KT Tunstall and more). In the evening, [[Mickey Mouse]] leads a procession down Michigan Avenue from Oak Street to Wacker Drive, stopping at each block to light the trees. He brings along a lot of friends, including Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, other Disney friends, marching bands, celebrities and more! It is considered the first annual Holiday procession of the year. ===Transportation=== North Michigan Avenue is a six-lane [[two-way street]] that is serviced by [[Chicago Transit Authority]] public buses along the Magnificent Mile that connect the area to the entire [[Chicago metropolitan area]]. It is also serviced by seasonal [[Tram|trolley]] service along the street, and the foot of the Magnificent Mile is serviced by seasonal water transit services. Two blocks west along [[State Street (Chicago)|State Street]], the [[Chicago 'L']] rapid transit services the street via its [[Red Line (Chicago Transit Authority)|Red Line]]. Pedestrian traffic abounds along the broad sidewalks that are shielded by extensive, mature greenery that provides much of the friendly atmosphere. ===Malls=== [[Image:20070520 Lifesize Darth Vader at Lego Store.JPG|right|thumb|The [[Lego]] Store is a highlight of [[The Shops at North Bridge]].
