How cool is THIS? Sears Tower

[StuckinTraffic]

Selig agrees: They're renaming The Sears Tower? That's just not right!

Yeah, I think they did already actually, or will very soon. Willis Group Holdings, the co. that's leasing most of the space, also got renaming rights in their leasing agreement, so they're changing the name.

More here: SearsTower.org. I read about it on wikipedia, but I can't get it to load right now.

All they need to do now is add an aquarium.

This looks awesome. I love stuff like this, I'd still choose to go play on top of the Stratosphere Tower though with all the rides. Can I ride Big Shot and X-Scream now please?

 

[Blackloliita]

Wow, that looks great, I'd love to be there. Great experience, I guess.

Ooooh, suuurre, great tourist attraction and all that rot...until the damned thing cracks and kills everyone. I don't ever trust things like that.

"Awwww, look honey, it's perfectly safe! Watch...." ::::jumps up and down inside glass cube::::: "See? It's perfectly *CRACK!!!!!* AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......................WE'RE STILL FALLING!!!!......AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH............................................................

But you guys go and have fun. 😀😀

All I can think is, "who's that idiot in the SKIRT in the second pic?" (Yes, I know they're artist renderings, thank you....)

Look Out, Beloooooooow!

There will probably be quite a few women wearing skirts out there eventually. At that height, who are you gonna flash, anyhow?

It was already the Willis Tower when I went 2 weeks ago.... ledge wasn't open on that night, unfortunately. But having thought I wouldbe too scred to go out on it, actually, when I was up there, I reckon I could have done it. It was so weird - didn't even feel like I was that high up! Chicago ooked pretty when the sun went down and the lights came on...sigh.

Ooh I've never seen anything like that before. I would totally go out on the ledge and jump up and down on it to scare all the other people, like on the tree top walk 😛
Also I think laying on your belly would be fun.

I don't like heights, so I can honestly say that this scares the bejaysus out of me.

As White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen would say...

"Psshh! Please."

The CN Tower in Toronto did the glass-floor thing first.

(apologies to TVnerdgirl...she beat me to that take.)
