By the way, one elevtor goes straight to the observation deck, and it has "elevator entertainment"

- a screen over the door, in which you can see, as you listen to the voice of an "elevator pilot" who swears he knows he's doing, an image of the elevator crashing out of the top of the tower, zipping past the space station, falling back INTO the tower, etc...</td></tr>

Sears Tower number 3, but for me it's number one, so 9.5 out of 10.

And I'm sure you're the ultimate judge of architectural skill. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is universally regarded as one of the great architects of the 20th century, and all his designs were boxes.

You may prefer cheap kitschy ripoffs of 1920s art deco skyscrapers (albeit lacking their elegance of form), but you people with the "ugly black box" comments are astonishingly ignorant.
