Streeterville, bordered by Michigan Ave., on the west, the River on the south, and Lake Michigan on the east and north, is named for a ship's captain who crashed his ship on a sandbar in Lake Michigan during a storm. He then started collecting discarded materials and built housing along the lake and started charging rent, ostensibly creating the first Streeterville apartment rental arrangements.
