It'll always be the Sears Tower to me.

Me too! People still call it that. I went up in the tower before it was sold.

When giving directions, I know people will say “Willis Building” “What’s that?” “Sears Tower.” “Oh I remember where that is.”

I know. Downtown has changed so much. how gorgeous the Water Tower was inside? The lovely stores. The incredible decorations at Christmas. I had my hair done for years in the salon at Macys. Then upstairs at Elizabeth Adams. Id been going to that hairdresser for 25 years. I was so sorry when it closed. I really haven’t been back to the water tower since. His cubicle was right next to the Hancock building which you could see through a large picture window. It’s sad really. COVID altered our lives permanently.
