Willis Tower
The next time you're on 66 in Chicago, don't try to find the Sears Tower. It's not there any more, well, the building is, but the name ain't.
A little-known London insurance brokerage firm rented 140,000 square feet and got the naming rights. I, for one, will continue calling it the Sears Tower.

Re: Willis Tower
Definitely a lot of controversy, but we're getting used to name changes.
There used to be:
The Stadium
Marshall Field
Comiskey Park
Standard Oil Building
But, not any more.
Try to fgure out the new names for these places.

Re: Willis Tower
The SEARS TOWER has really cool windows that jut out so you can feel like you are standing over the street below.
If you are going to stay in Chicago and see the Shed Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Field Museum, I recommend getting the City Pass so you not only enjoy the discounted admissions to these places, but it's like getting a front of the line pass as well. Saved us hours of waiting in line.
