Miracle or Magnificent Mile - Same thing?
 

<BR>Ok, will someone please tell me -- are those two names referring to the same mile? And if so, which is the proper, or accepted name?<BR><BR>Thanks.

I've seen it posted in Chicago as the Magnificent Mile.<BR><BR>We call a stretch of Wilshire Blvd "Miracle Mile" here in L.A. That's probably why I'm always confused. In fact, don't take my word for it until you hear from someone else! :)

Depends on what you're referring to.<BR><BR>Miracle is/was:<BR>**a historic area in Los Angeles<BR>**a stretch of the North Platte River known for outstanding trout fishing<BR>**a retail area in Stockton, California<BR>**a 1989 movie with Anthony Edwards.<BR><BR>Magnificent Mile is an area of North Michigan Avenue in Chicago

Isn't there also a Miracle Mile on the north shore of Long Island in NY (I think it's Manhassat)?

The miracle mile is a stretch of roadway - 25A- on the north shore of LI - Manhasset, with a very upscale shopping center called the Americana. Hermes, Gucci, Vuitton. Lauren, etc etc.

The main shopping street in Coral Gables FL is also called Miracle Mile.
