Longest streets in Chicago

Someone actually nerded his way into doing this:
All the streets in Chicago with at least 20 consecutive blocks
before being interrupted by something (industrial areas, canals,
suburbs, etc.).

I searched for Touhy and it is not on the list but I can drive
from the burbs to the lake on Touhy Ave but it's intermittently
not in Chicago I guess.
I knew Western was first, other than that I was not familiar
with the south side mostly.

Harlem is way longer than Western, but there are so many places
where it’s in the suburbs both sides. It would be a different
list of Cook County streets, but I’m not nearly nerdy enough to
do it.
(Harlem is a bit more than 54 continuous miles in Cook County.)

I love people who do stuff like this.
Guess I’m a nerd at heart.

Cool for making the list :)
Google's AI says that Madison St. is the longest street in
Seattle, but they seem to be distinguishing having "street" in
the name vs. having "avenue" in the name, because Aurora Avenue
looks like it's about 7 1/2 miles. Or maybe they exclude it
because it's a State Route, that also happens to function as a
city street.
