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.

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.
