Find out how Chicago's famed Magnificent Mile got its name and see the aptly named Gold Coast neighborhood on this guided two-hour walking tour. You'll start at the statue of famed Chicago Cubs announcer Jack Brickhouse near Pioneer Court on Michigan Avenue (just south of the Tribune Tower), and see such iconic landmarks as the Tribune Tower, the Wrigley Building, the Water Tower, the John Hancock Building, the Drake Hotel and more. Then it's on to one of the city's most affluent neighborhoods, where new mansions continue to spring up alongside the grand residences built by Chicago's 19th century elite. From hotel-magnate Potter Palmer's castle-like mansion to the Astor Street Historical District's beautiful brownstones, the architectural riches are boundless along the Gold Coast. The Rush & Division intersection a few blocks away is a vibrant hotspot of trendy bars, nightclubs -- the perfect place for people-watching and celebrity-spotting.

Joyce herself conducted the tour. I learned a lot I did not know, and I have lived here all my life. Also liked her visual aids. She could answer any question we asked.
