Say what?
This is just terrible. I have a real connection to the Sears Tower - my dad, a Sears employee from the age of 17 until a forced retirement during one of the last economic downturns, was involved in the construction of the tower; I was actually onsite during the raising of some of the famous white antenna towers, I've been on the actual roof, I used to work on the Skydeck . . . it's a major part of my history. And for someone to think they can just rename it? Is nothing "Chicago" sacred? I don't get it - this Willis company needs to step off. I mean, it's still Wrigley Field, even though Tribune Co. owns it (for the moment). Gah! I'll tell you right now - I am going to make sure my kids grow up calling this building by its proper name: Sears Tower.

It just doesn't seem right does it? However, I do have to laugh at the radio station this morning who now refers to it as "Big Willy."
that's just wrong. sears hasn't been there in years and they kept the name. maybe it's feeling threatened by the trump going up not too far away.
