[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 565096, member: 9789"] You are right. You did not call Sears evil and greedy. However, I really feel you can call the Empire State Building anything you want but through the next generation it would always be referred to as the Empire State Building, unless a major marketing campaign took place. I feel the same goes for the Sears Tower only because it was at one point the tallest building in the world and is a major tourist attraction and people of Chicago will refer to the Sears Tower using that name. I agree with you that most folks probably won't give it too much thought but I don't see most people changing how they refer to the building. I will be in Chicago in late August for a wedding, I will do an informal poll. I bet if I take the poll at the top of the Sears Tower I can get the results I am looking for..... just kidding!
