Pleasant and Safe
“Magnificent” might be a bit hyperbolic, but we really enjoyed our strolls along Michigan Avenue for each of the 5 days that we were in town. The sidewalk is very wide and clean and lined with beautiful planter boxes overflowing with colorful blooms in mid-September. Many restaurants have pleasant outdoor patios, and in the evenings a few street musicians provide entertainment. We did encounter a few panhandlers, but nothing like what we see in San Francisco. We never felt unsafe, even after dinner when we were strolling back to our hotel. We’re not shoppers so didn’t really pay attention to the stores. We did notice some closed businesses, but don’t know if that is related to the pandemic or just normal turnover. There are quite a few universities and colleges in this area, so there was a constant presence of young students, which makes it even more lively.

Love My City
Michigan Avenue, coined the “Mag Mile” is always so alive with people walking, jogging, shopping and generally having a good time. My family and I did some shopping on the Mag Mile and we had a really great time. The weather was great, we caught some sights and we thoroughly enjoyed one another. If you’re a tourist or even a resident of the city, I recommend coming down here, taking in the sights, and breaking the monotony of your daily routine.
