Milwaukee Avenue (Chicago)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Milwaukee Avenue
is a major diagonal street in the city of Chicago and the northern
suburbs. True to its name, it once led (as an Indian trail) to the city
of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Starting with a short section at N. Canal and
W. Lake Streets, it begins in earnest at the corner of N Desplaines and
W. Kinzie Streets and heads northwest for about 40 miles (64 km) before
joining Skokie Highway (U.S. Route 41) in Gurnee, Illinois which
continues on to the city of Milwaukee. From Harlem Avenue northwards it
is Illinois Route 21.
