That's it. I'm suing Willis.

And Sears.

And Chicago.

Whatever it takes to bring national attention to midget-ism.

Hasn't it been the Sears Tower for as long as it's been open? I can't see it changing (in our minds) anytime soon. Plus, it's going to be expensive rebranding everything with Willis material.

Which Willis are you going to sue?

I wonder if they're the same Willis?

Yes it has. There's the Sears-Roebuck name engraved all over the inside. However, they sold the building and moved out in the 90s, I think.

ETA: I should add, word is that Willis actually just signed a lease for a huge chunk of the building. They didn't buy it.

Actually Gary Coleman's short stature is due to the kidney problem he's had all his life. He is not a midget, dwarf or little person.

(I was a child in the 1970s. Sue me.)

^^^ Did you miss the B&N thread? We were joking about that.

I hate when they change building names. The GM Building is STILL The GM Building even if GM isn't in it anymore. I will never call it Cadillac Square in conversation. It's the GM Building because it was built to be the GM Building. If the Sears tower was built to be the Sears Tower, then it's name should be left alone.

By the way, yesterday was a new moon, which explains a lot of stuff around here.

And he was from Chicago!

Suck a caribou's ass!

Agreed! I also hate it when they change sporting areas.....Tropicana Field in St. Pete (Where the Rays play) has had 5 different names in 20 years....my mom still calls it the Sun Dome....

The St. Pete Times Forum is in Tampa......makes no sense....

Also the St. Pete Times Forum changes name all the time....its was the Ice Palace before which makes more sense because the Lightning play there!
