Now THIS is what I've been waiting for! I was really hoping you filmed Michigan Ave at night, and I'm so happy that you did. I really liked this a lot (I'm a sucker for skyline views and activity on city streets), and the quality and editing was top notch as always. Thank you so much for this! Favorited.

+Freewayjim: I just discovered your channel. What a great concept. It's simple, yet brilliant. I grew up in Chicago but left the city in 1987 to take a job in Seattle. I've gotten back to Chicagoland only very rarely in the years since. Your videos of the Kennedy and Dan Ryan took me back in time almost 30 years. This "Michigan Ave. at Night: Chicago, IL" video has me feeling like I need to call my mother. Thanks for the great work.

Excellent! Arguably one of my top 10 favorite streets in America. The "Magnificent Mile" is appropriately named, although in reality, there are dozens of city streets in Chicago that are truly "magnificent" in their own right. Excellent soundtrack to boost, too. Another favorited video.

I walked along Michigan Avenue from the Apple Store to 900 N Michigan. It was one of the most amazing walks I have ever done. Chicago has a lot more than Milwaukee will ever obtain.

@shysterlicious Thanks for the kind words and the constructive feedback. I can see your point, I've ben told by some people in instructional design to err on the side of making it easier to read. Yes it may block a little more space than we'd like but small print is irritating in a different way. I keep the text up for 4.5 seconds in most cases so with that in mind I felt the slightly larger text was justified. I try not to place text bands at important places as it is. Thanks for watching.

@ 1:52: Here's another fact to know about Michigan Ave, It's true that it was US Route 14, The southern terminus of the route was on Adams St and Jackson Blvd. Both of these one-way streets was better known as the Historic US Route 66. Adams Street went westbound, and Jackson Blvd went eastbound.

@videowilliams I get that "sophisticated" feeling from Boston, as well, and to a lesser degree S.F. and N.Y. But man, Chicago is just a world-class metropolis. And the good thing is that it keeps getting better and better. The new architectural additions have been fantastic. It's a shame they won't build the Chicago Spire, what with the global downturn. I understand it would have been the second tallest building in the world! I wasn't a fan of the style, but brother, it would've been impressive.

I have to admit that you post some of the most magnificent and encapsulating videos about driving in Chicago. As a matter of fact, I would say that very few videos on KZbin come close to the quality and informative value of the vids you post. Just one minor thing: the captions on the bottom, while I THANK you very much for including& encourage to to continue using, could stand to be a little smaller. They take away, albeit briefly, from the magnificent footage.

Although not mentioned, before it was US 14, except for the Chicago River bridge alignment before 1920, the entire length of Michigan Ave shown in your clip was the Yellowstone Trail (mid 1910s-1930). See their website for more on that early-20th century transcontinental 'auto trail', a 'sister' to the more well-known Lincoln Highway.
