Chicago’s Willis Tower, once the world’s tallest building and one of the city’s top tourist attractions, is up for sale. [...]
The 1,450-foot (442-meter) building, formerly known as the Sears Tower, is the second-tallest in the U.S., and was the world’s highest from its completion in the early 1970s until 1998 [...]
“It’s iconic in the size and how it dominates the skyline, [...] As an office building, however, it’s 1970s construction.”

Sears Tower
What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?
Lol......I am 1 of 6 people on a bus out of NYC into snow covered Jersey reading Generation X by Douglas Coupland as I watch snow plows and cars pass by slowly. A young girl puts on her wool cap and arches her back to sit up straight in her perched excitement at witnessing the amount of snow on her car at our first stop. - the park and ride ....all the while I am noting not a damn thing is different from 1991 and now, we'll at least socially.......it's still the Sears Tower.
Absolutely. And my first born kid will be named anything a wealthy, megalomaniacal jackass wants him to be named.
Future Harvard graduation requirement - biggest donor may give you your name when you graduate and enter the world (if you want to reduce your debt). Chase or TD will be popular names in the future. Citi and Amex not as hip.
I love it.
