[musclehead]

recently I was near Chi town and I heard on the radio they now call it the 'Harris tower'

when did they stop calling it the SEARS tower?


I will probably still call it the sears tower.......

Looks like it's officially the Willis Tower:

Although Sears' naming rights expired in 2003, the building continued to be called the Sears Tower for several years. In March 2009 London-based insurance broker Willis Group Holdings, agreed to lease a portion of the building and obtained the building's naming rights. On July 16, 2009, the building was officially renamed the Willis Tower.
