RIP Sears Tower...

In Chicago, this is going over as well as the Marshall Field's to Macy's transition. Next to nobody likes it.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Chicagoans continued to call the place the Sears Tower long after the change.

Hell, I'll probably still call it the Sears Tower and I've only even been to Chicago once.

if you've heard the story on Blue Collar Comedy Tour about a set of Sears installed tires coming off a van, they are already set to rename it "Ron White's Big ****ing Building"

The switch from Sears Tower to Willis Tower becomes official in a ceremony today.

Willis Tower sounds like the name of a high profile athletic prospect. To me, it will always be the Sears Tower.

Goddamit. You beat me to it. One of White's best stories.

I hate skyscrappers. And that was even before 9/11.
