It's still Sears Tower to me. It will always be Sears Tower to me.

The article mentions the same thing that our news reporters did in their quick segment on this Thursday night. Sears moved outta there 17 years ago. This article adds that they maintained naming rights until 2003.

Wha chu talkin bout?

Willis got a tower?

This is even more idiotic than renaming some famous ballfield to please a sponsor.

It really is, people still always call things their original names!!

One sign of getting older is giving directions by where things used to be. You know turn left just past where Sears used to be.

I'm just sayin.

There's a big difference between referring to a place that's not there anymore and changing the name of an iconic landmark to please some two-bit tenant that nobody has ever heard of!

Or what you give directions by. In college it was 'two blocks past the Rathskellar'. Now it is more likely a fabric or grocery store.

Sign of getting older? That's just good GPS programmin'.

I thought that was the one Die Hard took place in.

"Screw Willis Tower"

"I do"

"So do I"

But if they remove the Sears brand name, won't that void the building's lifetime full-replacement guarantee?
