[QUOTE=dvondrake;16081414]Same thing happened with the Sky Dome in Toronto. Rogers bought it, so now it's called the 'Rogers Centre'. I still call it the Sky Dome, though, as does every other Torontonian.[/QUOTE] Also, Dominion got changed to Metro.. not as important but still
Aw, I was hoping it'd be "Billy Mays Tower" after that voting thread someone made.
What the fuck? I mean I'm still going to refer to it as the Sears Tower, but the Willis Tower? What a stupid name for a tower.
Old news man, i only live 40 miles away. i known for 6 months, Still going to call it Sears Tower

If I bought it I would call it the Freudian tower.
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;16082022]Aw, I was hoping it'd be "Billy Mays Tower" after that voting thread someone made.[/QUOTE] That was for a tower in Portland Oregon.
Don't think you can fool me! Since you couldn't kick our asses over two hundred years ago, you've decided to wait until you could just buy out the US, you tricky red coats, you. I've lived my whole life in the Chicago land area. I'm not about to refer to that architectural wonder as anything other than the Sears Tower.
Still gonna call it the Sears Tower.
Nope, i checked Sim City 3000, still called Sears Tower.
Everytime I think Sears Tower I think of those two towers in Malaysia, no clue why.

Kickass, Bruce Willis has a tower named after him.
Sears tower is my most favourite building in the world, i wish i could see it irl.
[QUOTE=ambershee;16078914]Yeah, heard about it already - but at the end of the day, who gives a crap - it's just a name, and Sears don't own it any more.[/QUOTE] Yes, but when you live right by Chicago, it feels like a real intrusion of culture when some company from the UK decides to rename your most famous building.

Any TRUE Chicagoin (or at least someone who lives near it) doesn't measure distance in miles, but in minutes driving!
Take that Chicago. The rest of Illinois hates you. [editline]08:50PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Street_Wolf;16086897] The hell? No you don't. Any TRUE Chicagoin (or at least someone who lives near it) doesn't measure distance in miles, but in minutes driving![/QUOTE] Dammit, the Chicagoians are influencing me. I measure the distance to Chicago from my house as 2.5 hours. [editline]08:51PM[/editline] I don't even know how many miles that is. 100 maybe?
I live 8 hours and 7 minutes away from Chicago. I could probably go see the Sears Tower some day after I get a passport.
Bigger disappointment that Nintendo Revolution to Nintendo Wii.
This is just, wrong. [img]http://www.chicagoarchitecture.info/CAI/Images/TheLoop/SearsTower-010.jpg[/img] This is the Sears Tower, not the Willis Tower, the Sears Tower. It just seems so odd to me that they renamed it. Also, I've been on the sky deck, the view is incredible.
Selfish bastard
The fox plaza in LA should have been named to that instead. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7f/Foxplazaupclose.jpg[/img]

I don't think it'll matter. Everyone's still going to call it The Sears Tower.

Also, this isn't as bad as The Skydome being renamed to Rogers Centre. What a shitty fucking name. Gotta make sure everyone knows they're sitting in a building Rogers owns.
Why the hell does a british company own our buildings? DAMN FACISTS THERE TRYING TO DESTORY AMERICAN AHHHH:tinfoil:
