Streeterville

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most sources support the black Streeterville borders as shown above, but the City of Chicago officially only includes the smaller region inside the red borders.
The Magnificent Mile is generally considered the western boundary

Streeterville is a neighborhood in the Near North Side community area of Chicago, Illinois, United States, north of the Chicago River. It is named for George Streeter.

It is bounded by the river on the south, the Magnificent Mile portion of Michigan Avenue on the west, and Lake Michigan on the north and east, according to most sources, although the City of Chicago only recognizes a small portion of this region as Streeterville. It can be described as the Magnificent Mile plus all land east of it.[1][2]

The majority of the land in this neighborhood is sandbar.
