Texsox Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 When we were in Chicago my girlfriend purchased a bag with Chicago and some of the landmarks listed, Oak Street Beach, Water Tower, etc. One thing caught me eye, Prarie Avenue. I can't for the life of me remember Prarie Avenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 From what I read in Devil in the White City, it was a very prominent street back in the day. Now it goes directly into the mccormick place parking garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 I could never remember anyone listing it when talking about places to see in Chicago. Navy Pier, etc all made sense, but not Prarie Avenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
