State Street Chicago shopping with Chicago theater, Garretts Popcorn and more.

State Street is a major north-south
thoroughfare in Chicago. A great deal of State
Street lies between Wabash Avenue on the
east and Dearborn Street on the west.

Its intersection with Madison Street marks
the base point for Chicago's address system
and the center of State Street's primary
shopping interest.

Although there are many places to shop on
State Street, the best and most recognizable
shopping venues are located between Lake
Street on the north and Congress Parkway
on the south.

In addition, some of the most recognized
hotels in the world are scattered in walking
distance from State. State Street is a definite
must for any Chicago tourist, traveler, or
vacationer.

Michigan avenue and in particular, the
Magnificent Mile, have become the number
one shopping designation in Chicago and in
the Midwest. However, State street does still
offer tourist and visitors an opportunity for a
less "stroll" driven experience than the one
you get on the Mag mile.

In addition you have several new stores and
a great deal of renovation currently occurring
on State street. Most areas are still
developing, but there is a good mixture of
local and mainstream stores on this street to
give visitors to Chicago a flavor of the city and
a familiarity to what they already know.

Its definitely worth a trip.
