Nothing lasts forever folks. At least Bruce Willis tower won't be under siege by East German terrorists. Even if it does come under siege, Seagal is around for back up.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the Burma/Myanmar of architecture.

"If we're good corporate citizens and do what we should, hopefully Willis and the tower and Chicago will all become synonymous."

If you were a good corporate citizen, you wouldn't piss people off by renaming one of the most famous landmarks in the country.

Yeah, and I can't find a single person who says they're going to BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Seriously people, stop renaming important shiat.

FTFA: "Willis is investing in Chicago. Willis is investing in Chicago. That's positive," Plumeri said during Thursday's ceremony.


Apparantly it's so positive that it must be repeated it must be repeated.

Totally. Pretty soon tourists will be visiting the Siemens Gate in Berlin, the Peugeot Tower in Paris and the Westinghouse Monument in Washington DC. And you'll be paying your parking tickets at the local WalMart County Courthouse.

Yes, I hate when they re-name things. Well, off to New York International Airport, which is located in New Amsterdam, to fly to Constantinople.
