The Sears Tower looking insanely creepy during a blackout, including the impression of a scary face topped by a crown of spikes. It looks like a giant humanoid evil robot or a demonic Minecraft creature.

"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!"

A vintage style illustration reminiscent of a Godzilla movie poster, in which the Sears Tower looms above a burning Chicago cityscape and shoots laser beams from its eyes. Ominous red hand-lettered text at the bottom reads, "WHO CALLED ME WILLIS."

It’s very rare that Instagram ads are even remotely relevant to me, but this Sears Tower lamp was a rare exception.

(The company makes lamps of a lot of cool/iconic skyscrapers.)

The Sears Tower, Chicago’s tallest buildings is in the middle of the frame. Above it - amongst a bright blue sky - is one puffy cumulus cloud perfectly centered over the tower

A personal cloud on a gorgeous day! We’re getting a *slight* reprieve from the heat today before it cranks back up the next few days // #ILwx #Chicago

The sheer irony is that somebody already called this 23 days ago. Coincidence or premonition?

Finally got a chance to take the water taxi today from Michigan Avenue to Chinatown. A nice way to get out on the water on a pleasant day.

A picture of part of the Sears Tower as seen from a window of said building. The building fills the left of the photo, and on the right there is cloud. That’s it, just cloud. 

Anyone who tries to tell you it’s the Willis Tower is a plant and should not be trusted.

My favorite part about going to an event at the BigLaw firm in the Sears tower? The view from the 80th floor

Having been an Illinoisan since 1974, I can fully concur. Thank you Governor for all your hard work!

Looking up at the Sears Tower (technically named Willis Tower but I’m never going to call it that) standing tall under a crystal clear blue sky. On either side of the frame are bare tree branches that seem to reach toward the skyscraper. Lower down in the photo, the tops of other smaller buildings are seen. 07 April 2023

Graphical timetable for construction of Sears Tower, published in Chicago Tribune (October 3, 1971). Steel erection began June 1971 and was projected to end September 1972.

Did you know? Sears Tower was originally scheduled to be topped out in September 1972. That timetable obviously fell way behind, since steel erection wasn't completed for an additional 8 months. Construction was likely hindered by the frigid Chicago winters.

On this day in 1973, the final white beam was installed atop the 110-story landmark, signalling a new era for Sears, Roebuck, and Co. and turning the title of world's tallest building over to Chicago. Happy Birthday Sears Tower!

It's the perfect time for a family outing to the top of Sears Tower. You'll get a fantastic view of Chicago's skyline! (Chicago Tribune, July 12, 1975)

Fazlur Khan was truly a prodigy of modern structural engineering, and I'm so thrilled that a documentary is in the works that will highlight his accomplishments.
