The Sears Tower opened a new observation deck that is basically a glass box hanging out 1,353 feet over Chicago. You could not pay me enough money to stand in that box of Death, but the picture is cool in a Jetsons sort of way.

Chicago's Sears Tower is being renamed Willis Tower for a London insurance Group, Willlis Holdings, that leased 150,000 square feet of office space. Built in 1973, the 110-story building housed the Sears Corporation until they moved to Hoffman Estates, IL. Sears naming rights expired a few years ago. Think of all the postcards and souvenirs that will wind up in the Dollar Stores because of this change.
