Sears Tower 

The tallest skyscraper in the U.S., it has stood as the tallest for 35 years. It's located in Chicago, Illinois.
The tower has 108 floors, although occasionally the main roof and mechanical penthouse are counted as floors 109 and 110.

Bruce Graham was the chief architect for this building.
The Sears Tower has two large antennas which increase its height dramatically.
On a clear day, you're able to see across Lake Michigan to Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin from the observation deck on the 103rd floor.
The building leans slightly, about 4 inches due to its slightly asymmetrical design, this can sometimes be felt by tower inhabitants.
The Sears Tower is cool.

The Tower Formerly Known as Sears 

A moniker for the recently renamed Willis Tower in Chicago, formerly known as Sears Tower from 1973-2009.

Used by Chicagoans to avoid using the name Willis Tower.

Similar in structure to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, which the music artist Prince crafted for legal reason to produce music outside the control of his corporate music label, until such time as he could regain his rightful name.
