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?)

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??

"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.
