Where is the "Magnificent Mile" located?

The Magnificent Mile (sometimes referred to as The Mag Mile), is an upscale section of Chicago's Michigan Avenue, running from the Chicago River to Oak Street in the Near North Side. The district is located adjacent to downtown, and one block east of Rush Street. The Magnificent Mile serves as the main thoroughfare between Chicago's Loop business district and its Gold Coast. It is generally the western boundary of the Streeterville neighborhood, to its east and River North to the west.

Several of the tallest buildings in the United States (the John Hancock Center and the Trump International Hotel and Tower) lie in the district. Landmarks along the Magnificent Mile include Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower, the Chicago Water Tower, and the Allerton Hotel.

Arthur Rubloff (a real estate developer) gave the district its nickname in the 1940's. The Magnificent Mile has more than 3,000,000 square feet of space occupied by restaurants, retail businesses, hotels and museums.
