	Gapers Block, Chicago, IL - Airbags: What's in a Name? The Magnificent Mile and the Development of North Michigan Avenue
		By the mid-ninteenth century, North Michigan Avenue was called Pine Street, and the development of the Near North Side was already underway as the city filled in over 100 acres of lakefront, creating the Streeterville neighborhood and establishing the current configuration of the lakeshore.
		Two of the major steps towards achieving this vision were the widening of Pine Street and the completion in 1920 of a double-decked bridge over the Chicago River, connecting the old South Michigan Avenue with the new North Michigan.
		These improvements transformed the street into a major gateway to the Near North Side, and led to rapid commercial development of the area.
