    I remember the days when the Willis Tower was the Sears Tower. I guess the important thing is to avoid “monument fever”, so you never have the embarrassment of selling your namesake building and it name changing to something else.

    I think it was once the world’s tallest, but I didn’t bother to look it up.

      At one point it was the tallest in the world, sadly "The Big Willie" has shrunk to 23rd.
