the_other_sandy: Chicago skyline (Chicago)
I am so sick of companies from outside Chicago coming here and buying our landmarks, then naming them after themselves like our history and traditions mean nothing. Sears hasn't been in the Sears Tower for 20 years, but all the other occupants managed to leave well enough alone. Now some British company has bought it and is renaming it Willis Tower. And they want to paint it silver. I think I'm going to be sick. The Willis execs clearly need to talk to the Macy's people about how much good will they're about to engender. But, hey, what do we know? We're just a bunch of Midwestern hicks who've never been to a big, important city like London or New York.

Okay, this post was intended to be a Supernatural review, but apparently I need a tissue for my issue.

Dude, that sucks. I mean what would Ferris Bueller say?

It doesn't even make any sense! Sears Tower was designed and built to look like stacks of Sears catalogs. Is Willis Group Holdings known for its catalogs? I think not.
