Sears Tower is gone
The Sears Tower is now the Willis Tower.
But I don't think I'll ever get used to that, esp. since I don't live there so I won't get used to hearing people call it that. FWIW, I think visitors are better off with the view and the ambiance at the Hancock Observatory. (it's still that, isn't it?) |
They can rename it, but I'm still going to call it the Sears Tower.
|
It will always be Marshall-Fields and the Sears Tower.
|
The Met Life Building in NYC is still the Pan Am Building. I don't care what anyone says.
Can you imagine if that great art deco skyscraper in NYC were known as the Daimler AG building instead of the Chrysler Building?? |
Even with most sports arenas selling out for $, I still tend to use their original names (Boston Garden, Hartford Civic Center, etc).
It will always be the Sears Tower to me. |
I was just told by a Chicago person that nobody there calls it the Sears Building or the Sears Tower, but a true Chicagoan (?) just calls it Sears. I found that hard to imagine. Anyone?
|
"a true Chicagoan (?) just calls it Sears"
I grew up in Chicago, and I too find that hard to imagine. The tall building is the Sears Tower. "Sears" is any of the branches of the department store. |
I think this is just a publicity stunt!!. It is STILL the Sears Tower.
