August 30, 201015 yr When we were in Chicago my girlfriend purchased a bag with Chicago and some of the landmarks listed, Oak Street Beach, Water Tower, etc. One thing caught me eye, Prarie Avenue. I can't for the life of me remember Prarie Avenue.

I can't for the life of me remember Prarie Avenue. Well after the Chicago Fire, they did do some changes to the street layout in the city...
August 30, 201015 yr From what I read in Devil in the White City, it was a very prominent street back in the day. Now it goes directly into the mccormick place parking garage
August 30, 201015 yr Author I could never remember anyone listing it when talking about places to see in Chicago. Navy Pier, etc all made sense, but not Prarie Avenue.
August 31, 201015 yr Also, the United States Soccer Federation is located on Prairie Avenue. Strange...but true. pa-DOW! Edited August 31, 201015 yr by CanOfCorn
