Near North is a neighbourhood in central Chicago. Its primary feature is the so called 'Magnificent Mile', which is a section of Michigan Avenue devoted to retail, dining, hotels and tourist attractions, with side streets taking benefit from the traffic.

The Magnificent Mile is well policed, so few gang incidents happen, but the influence of gangs is still high here in less visible ways.

The territory is held by the North Side Gang though there are area's where other gangs hold power.
