Talk:Miracle Mile, Los Angeles

message: It seems a bit weird to say that Miracle Mile is "often confused with the Magnificent Mile in Chicago". The phrasing calls to mind some tourist confused about whether he is in Los Angeles or Chicago. --Mathew5000 17:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "often" confused? 

message: If one accepts that Fairfax is the western boundary of the Miracle Mile (as stated in the article), the photo captioned "The Miracle Mile is lined by many high-rise buildings" isn't of the Miracle Mile at all.

replies: text: No offense, but your opinion - just like mine - is not relevant to the historical question. It is true that by the mid 1950's to 60's there were a large number of "Miracle Miles". I clearly recall a MM (open) mall opening around 1960 in Pontiac, MI (my hometown). It's now long gone. The Miracle Mile in Manhasset, NY claims to be "the" one Billy Joel is referring to. This claim is repeated in the stub on the village of Manhasset. Given that BJ is and was a New Yorker, this may be true. The L.A. Miracle Mile long predates the NY one. I don't know whether the term has earlier origins, and THIS article certainly avoids stating a date, but another on-line source claims that the term was first applied to this project in 1928 (https://www.kcet.org/shows/lost-la/how-the-miracle-mile-got-its-name-a-brief-history-of-las-unlikely-retail-district). I believe that one (in NY) was named about 1955. fwiw40.142.185.108 (talk) 18:29, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

message: the article talks at length about a possible western extension of the metro (subway).  this is the expo line that has been operational since May 2016.  it does not serve the miracle mile so I think it is best to completely remove that section.
