Chicago's Sears Tower is renamed

[tittenman]

why the fuck would you rename it? Fuck em, I'll always call it the sears tower.

Well I am sure people are not going to overnight start calling it by the proposed name, and I guess will affectionately always refer to it as sears tower.

They should just call it Chigaco Tall Building Structure Serial Number: 89176491364913874890132473289749328749328748932749324-Z41b.09
Bloody obvious really!

Some executive will get $3.5 million in bonuses next year for this amazing leadership.

I think more people care about the name "Sears Tower" then shopping at an actual Sears store.

I think the whoring out the naming rights of a building, commercial or sports-related or whatever, is a complete embarrassment.

I think the proper name of the building should be THE Chicago Tower. What happens when the present company leaves?

I think I'm going to start calling it "Chicago's Big Willie."

I think the proper name of the building should be THE Chicago Tower. What happens when the present company leaves?

There's already a building with a similar name (Chicago Spire) under construction, though it's currently on hold due to the recession.

^Wow, that is one ugly building....for Chicago's sake I hope that NEVER GETS BUILT!!!

I think there's enough name separation between Tower and Spire, fwiw....

This is really old news, but...

To me, and to all of the other people who live in/have lived in Chicago, it will ALWAYS be THE SEARS TOWER!!!
