Located in a very bustling area of Chicago, Michigan Avenue is like a shining jewel in Chicago's crown. The entire street crosses the Chicago River and passes landmarks such as the Chicago Water Tower, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Millennium Park. Today, it has become one of the top ten tourist destinations in the world for tourism, dining and shopping. 1. After vicissitudes of life, several expansions The earlier formed part of Michigan Avenue is now a section close to Grant Park, named after Lake Michigan. Before 1871, Lake Michigan bordered the east side of Michigan Avenue. At that time the street was north to the Chicago River and south to the city limits. Originally a largely residential area, Michigan Avenue was dominated by large, expensive homes in the 1860s. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, all buildings on Michigan Avenue from Parliament Street to the Chicago River were burned. Michigan Avenue was rebuilt immediately after the fire, still maintaining the character of the residential area, but no longer directly adjacent to Lake Michigan. The portion of Michigan Avenue north of the Chicago River is now called Pine Street, and in the early days, pine trees were scattered around. In 1909, Daniel Burnham proposed connecting Michigan Avenue and Pine Street in the Chicago plan, and by 1917, the construction of the bridge began. When the bridge was built, Pine Street was renamed Michigan Avenue. 2. A variety of social and entertainment activities Michigan Avenue will hold specific large-scale activities every season, with various types and spectacular scenes. In spring, Chicago's largest tulip exhibit is colorful, and there's a flamboyant dance along the boulevard. There are also free outdoor events in the summer that keep the hearts pumping, with al fresco dining on every street corner. 3.
