Family Vacations in Illinois: Magnificent Mile
Chicago's Magnificent Mile stretches along North Michigan Avenue between Oak Street and the Chicago River. The 100story John Hancock Center may be the most prominent building on this stretch, but don't overlook the other architectural gems. The Tribune Tower, with its decorative buttresses and gothic design, was once called "the most beautiful and eyecatching building in the world."
Park Tower, a 67story skyscraper, preserves the facade of the landmark 1917 Perkins, Fellows, and Hamilton Studio. And there's the distinctive Old Water Tower. Built in 1869, the tower has become a symbol of Chicago it was one of the few buildings to survive the Great Chicago Fire.
Today it stands near Water Tower Place, a gargantuan highrise shopping mall with more than 100 specialty shops. Which brings us to the truly magnificent part of the Magnificent Mile: Bloomingdale's, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Lalique, Ralph Lauren,[url=http://www.floware.fr]michael kors pas cher[/url], Neiman Marcus, Giorgio Armani, Hugo Boss, and Hammacher Schlemmer.
