What do you think about Sears tower being renamed Willis Tower?

I think it was really stupid, because everyone knows it as Sears Tower. When people go through Chicago and see that skyscraper they will say something like "Hey look, there's Sears Tower!". It's also stupid because as Sears Tower it used to have a world record.

I live about 30 minutes from Chicago and most would think I'm connected to the name Sears Tower. But, I have no problem calling it "The Big Willy."

Plus, "Sears" is the name of a company. So what if it goes from one company's name to another.

Eh, I don't care what they call it. I'll always know it as the Sears Tower. Even though I don't think landmark names should be changed.

if the governement is being stupid enough to allow that.
and changing somethings name from on companies to anothers is not such a big deal to me.

One time is enough. Let's get back on topic?

I've already shared my views. Basically that people are going to keep calling it the Sears Tower for a long time, and I'm a bit disappointed that the company decided to change the name. The building and name were iconic.
