How did Pine Street, the home of factories, saloons, and auto dealerships become the "Boul Mich," a shopping mecca for all of North America and beyond? You'll learn how the Plan of Chicago and the Columbian Exposition inspired Chicago to design a "Paris on the Prairie" and see an eclectic mix of architecture design from Art Deco to the construction of Chicago's tallest building.
