The Chicago skyline extends along Lake Michigan from North Avenue Beach on the city’s North Side. The John Hancock Center, now 875 North Michigan Avenue, stands among the high-rises of the Gold Coast and Streeterville. Chicago’s lakefront park and beach system maintains public access along much of the city’s eastern edge.
