What You Talking 'bout Willis? buh-bye Sears Tower

[Panopticon]

America's tallest building will no longer be named "The Sears Tower".
It will be "Willis Tower". http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/arti...AD96SK8M06

Bet you Chicagoans will ignore the name change -D

Well, I do refer to the department store as Macy's now...

My 6 YO is going to be crushed - he always referred to it as the "Serious Tower."

Already seen the nickname "Big Willy" spreading about the Chicago netosphere.
Sears' name was Richard, so I may stick with tradition . . .

Odd thing about Macy's- when I'm talking about a suburban location, I say Macy's. When I'm talking about State St. I still say Marshall Field's. No idea why.

I still call Cellular Field Comiskey but I don't call the United Center The Stadium. Again, makes no sense whatsoever. Both are entirely new arenas, not new names for old places.

Just like I still refer to the Rosemont Horizon rather than Allstate Arena, I'm pretty sure it will always be Sears Tower to me.

No need to ask about the John Hancock . . .
