State Street, The Loop
Chicago, Illinois
Frank Sinatra referred to Chicago’s State Street as “that great street.” And, for those who love to shop, State Street is the original power shopping destination. Giant department stores such as Macy’s (formerly the beloved Marshall Field’s) span a city block and still feature many of the traditions that made Marshall Field’s so famous, such as the beautifully adorned windows during the Chistmas Season.
Many Chicagoans decide to live in the Loop for the same reasons droves of tourists visit the neighborhood every year. Next to the Magnificent Mile, the Loop has the second best shopping scene in all of Chicago. Some Loop residents and downtown employees skip lunch just to power shop on their midday work break.
