Father's Day The Magnificent Mile

Jerry Seinfeld once said, “You can tell what year was the best year of your Dad’s life because he seems to freeze that clothing style and ride it out.” Well, what better way to celebrate Dad this Father’s Day then to take him to some of the various stores here on Michigan Ave! And if you still can’t convince him to get rid of his old dad sneakers, there’s still an abundance of events going on that’ll make this Father’s Day a memorable one.
