1000000000/10, Sears is my favorite building in the world, period. Can't ever get enough of this giant.



It looks like a cute black cat with white ears too!

Um - why exactly do you do that? There is this really nifty thing called the space bar, it appears you're missing it. Just need to stretch that little bit further...

SO many give them a 10

This building is so ugly. Its black, its simpel, it`s like Lego.
The only fact that so many love this building is because it is so tall.
Everyboddy would hate it if it was 200m shorter.
It is really ugly.

The 311 South Wacker Drive is 10 times more beautiful. It would be nicer if they changed the size but not the design. Everyboddy would say: Look at the ugly Sears Tower. It`s destroying the view of the 311 South Wacker Drive.

So please be more honest.

I love this building. People complain that its not "beautiful" and that those who like it are over scoring. Well I probably in the minority here but I like buildings that actually LOOK like buildings. The Sears Tower is truly the embodiment of Chicago's most dominating characteristic; business. The people who work in the Sears go to work in a building, not a sculpture.

The Sears: simple, too the point, dominating, and awe inspiring. Unfortunately I live in the burbs , but everyday I see this monster's silhouette in the background, and after years upon years of looking at it in the distance, its image still excites me every time I see it in the morning.

The Sears Tower deserves nothing less then a 10/10. This building is truly Chicago.

Outdated design.

They still get an 8 because they are HUGE!
