Celebrating in Niles
Niles is a busy village along Milwaukee Avenue, home to the Leaning Tower of Niles, a half-size replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Golf Mill Shopping Center and a long strip of restaurants and banquet halls. It borders Chicago’s Northwest Side and runs along the North Branch of the Chicago River and its forest preserves. Niles’ park district sites and the North Branch forest preserve trails nearby offer green space just off the busy Milwaukee Avenue corridor.
