It's not the Sears Tower anymore
Sears Tower, the name given from the start has been renamed the Willis Tower. They bought the tower and decided to change the name.
Is there nothing sacred anymore? :( |
They can "change" the name, but it will always be the Sears Tower.
|
That's true. Kind of like when they changed Cominsky Park to US Cellular. I will always call it Cominsky. Now if they ever change Wrigley I am done. lol
|
Everyone knows that it's just so people can say, "Whatchu talkin'bout? The Willis?"
|
It's the nature of our culture now...nothing is permanent...it always goes the way the highest bidder wants it to...

thats like here its not the grand ole opry anymore technicaly its the gaylord since they bought it out.!!!!
i will still call the it the sears tower tho but its true everything has a price. |
This reminds me.... 5/3 Bank helped 'my' city build a new baseball field so guess what those ppl did? Yes...it was named "5/3 Field". Yuk They of coarse have a big 'ad' going round & round high above the entrance, with the name.

I understand the new company...Willis wanting to place their name on the building...but to me...it's just wrong... It's the principle of the thing... It should remain the SEARS TOWER!!!
Changing the name in my opinion is or would be like changing the name of the Empire State Building, or the Grand Canyon, or the Hancock Building, or the Golden Gate Bridge, or Brooklyn Bridge.... etc..... wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong..... ok...voiced my opinion....:mad: :mad: Abbie |
I still call the Transco tower the, well, Transco Tower. I think it's really the Williams tower now...
I do NOT call a certain baseball field Enron Field, however. Just as long as we don't start calling these landmarks wong fu tower or some such... Tom |
