Highlights of the Mag Mile: What Makes Chicago Great
Chicago is known for its crime syndicate, iconic skyline, lavish hotels, and quirky public art. Michigan Avenue, or the Magnifient "Mag" Mile, is home to all of these things and more. At the northern end The John Hancock Tower looms over the posh shopping district, south to the site of the old Lexing Hotel where Al Capone lived for three years, north again to the Palmer House, nestled just two short blocks from the Mag Mile, and of course, the iconic Art Institute of Chicago stationed impressively in the middle, Michigan Avenue has a little bit of everything that is considered "Chicago". Tour highlights of the Mag Mile that showcase what makes Chicago great, past and present, 1871 to 1986.
