Didn't this building used to have two antennas on top? It looks like NASA moved the space program up there.

Can one purchase sweaters and wrenches here?

It's sad what happened to American retail in general. Walmart is such a crapfest compared to Sears, and then there's fast growing chains like Dollar General which are even worse.

Absolutely. I'm Canadian but we feel what you guys feel for the most part (we're heavily influenced by you guys, no matter what anyone says) so I get what you mean for sure. I haven't heard of Dollar General but I'm sure it won't be long before we get those here too

I live in Chicago. I never saw the Sears tower as looking evil 🙁

I don't know if it's because it's darker in colour than the buildings around it, or if it's because it's considerably taller than everything else, but it is definitely looking over those other buildings menacingly

There are photos of Sears Tower during a power outage and it looks like it has a face because of the emergency lights. Looks a lot like an enderman from Minecraft. Image

All the windows and walls will fall over, crushing nearby buildings, revealing a giant laser which destroys the moon
