The Magnificent Mile (also The Mag Mile) is a section of Michigan Avenue in Chicago devoted to retail, dining, hotels and tourist attractions. Running from the Chicago River to Oak Street in the Near North Side,[1] the district is located one block east of Rush Street and is the main retail corridor between the Loop and Gold Coast.[2] It is bounded by Streeterville neighborhood to its east and River North to its west.
The real estate developer Arthur Rubloff of Rubloff Company gave the district its nickname in 1947.[1] The Magnificent Mile has many tall buildings and landmarks such as John Hancock, Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower, Chicago Water Tower, and the Allerton, Drake and Intercontinental Hotels.
