          Well at least the Britts own it and not the Chinese, Japanese or Arabs!

          America as we have known it is undergoing massive changes. Hate to see what it will look like in another 50 years.

            Hopefully it will look more like Planet of the Apes. I should be long gone by then.

                  You should probably ask him what he thinks of Mexicans.

                    Doesn't matter who owns the Sears Tower...Mexicans will still be cleaning the bloody thing.

                      Is it me or is that not a good sign for Sears if they change the name?

                            I have no problem with non USA companies or people buying USA landmarks.

                            It's not like they can buy them and then take them home

                            On top of that, how many country's does the United States have military bases in ?

                            My view, --- as long as they're a US friend, it's fine with me --- especially a country like England who's basically America's brother.

                              It's one of those things where people (especially around here in Chicago) will always continue to call it "Sears" Tower regardless of what name change there is. We're notorious for that.
