The Magnificent Mile....

One of the fun parts about traveling with the club over the summer is the chance to see what else is happening around the country. One of the staples for us though is in visiting Chicago, we stay right off Michigan Avenue - or as as it has been so named the "Magnificent Mile." It is a shopper's delight with places to eat as well as plenty of shopping. And having been here around Christmas, the entire street and all the stores are lit up for the season!

A little bit of history...Michigan Avenue was actually widened in 1909 from a single lane. The North and South ends were finally joined when the bridge was put in place over the river in 1920. The entire course of Michigan Avenue is filled with history. And if you are looking for somewhere to go to eat, shop, or just have fun in general, I have pleaced that link here.

The Indians head back this way around the first of July....so job #1 is to support the club....but give yourself some time to enjoy the city as well - and bring your walking shoes!
