The Willis Tower, built and still commonly referred to as Sears Tower, is a 108-story, 1,451-foot (442 m) skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, United States. At completion in 1973, it surpassed the World Trade Center towers in New York to become the tallest building in the world, a title it held for nearly 25 years. The Willis Tower is the second-tallest building in the United States and the 14th-tallest in the world. More than one million people visit its observation deck each year, making it one of Chicago's most popular tourist destinations. The structure was renamed in 2009 by the Willis Group as part of its lease on a portion of the tower's space.
As of December 2013, the building's largest tenant is United Airlines, which moved its corporate headquarters from the United Building at 77 West Wacker Drive in 2012 and today occupies around 20 floors with its headquarters and operations center.
The building's official address is 233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.
http://facebook.com/ruckitup http://twitter.com/adamrucker http://twitter.com/ruckermore Bryan and I recently had the chance to visit the great city of Chicago, Illinois! While there, we bought the City Pass and visited some of Chicago's best attractions. On this excursion, we visited Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), which used to be the tallest building in the world! Watch as we stand 103 feet above the city on the Skydeck!!! (No, we weren't the ones that cracked it, as recently shown in the news) Enjoy! Comment Question: What's your favorite building?

October 5th, 2012 - These are some extraordinary video clips of the recent installation of the new ABC 7 antenna atop Willis Tower. The amazing shots were taken by tiny cameras on the ironworker's helmets, the antenna sections themselves, and another helicopter. The video features Local 1 ironworkers John Rukavina and his nephew Bob East. Director Stephen Brown and Zoo City Productions were filming the entire event for a documentary entitled "Cowboys of the Sky", which chronicles the journey of 74-year-old Local 1 ironworker John Rukavina. Doing an installation in that environment is tough enough for an ironworker. Doing it with a helicopter makes it even more difficult. The stunning video leaves no question of John's skill, experience and fortitude. NOTE: I have no ownership over this...

A bustling community of business, tourism and culture, Willis Tower is so much more than North America's tallest building. It's home to large well-known companies as well as hundreds of thriving businesses run by smart, passionate people. More than an office building, it's a cultural landmark and iconic Chicago tourist attraction. Willis Tower is a pivotal point of reference -- from across town, from financial centers on both coasts, and from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. It's a building with retail and commercial office space at heart, but also inspires tens of thousands of visitors to take in the amazing views of the city and experience the breathtaking Ledge. http://www.willistower.com/ WATCH FREE: http://www.nextstop.tv

This is the home of blues and jazz, where early masters like, Louis Armstrong, Jimmie Noone, Johnny Dodds, Earl Hines, and Jelly Roll Morton, honed their skills; the city where skyscrapers were born and now pierce the sky in their dozens, where trains found their centre and airlines soon followed. Chicago is undoubtedly one of the world's greatest, dynamic cities -- confident, thriving, innovative -- and yet it still offers buckets of genuine Midwestern friendliness. Situated on Lake Michigan, incomparable archite...
