We already have the highest sales tax in the country. Not to mention potholes big enough to mistake for underground parking garages. We couldn't even fully enjoy the honor of having the first black President come from Chicago due to that victory being quickly eclipsed by the city's political corruption, and Blagojevich's hair.
Now they're renaming the Sears Tower the Willis Tower?
I completely understand this as a business decision, but being born and raised in the Chi, this just feels wrong.
I didn't look out the third floor window of my elementary school day dreaming as I stared off at the Willis Tower. I didn't use the Willis Tower as a compass to figure out which way I was going when I first learned to drive. I don't have any warm and fuzzy memories about going to the Willis Tower observation deck with my grandparents as a child.
Little by little it seems like what made this such a great city to live is being stripped away. Who cares about the Willis Tower? Who's gonna even bother visiting it when it costs about five bucks in quarters to meter park any where around it? And while we're at it, fuck you US CELLULAR FIELD. Fuck you.
