How About 'Barry's Tower of Power'?


Wow, there really is no part of my heritage that isn't for sale:

Chicago's iconic Sears Tower -- the tallest building in the United States -- will be getting a new name after a British insurance company made a deal with the building management.


Willis Group Holdings won the naming rights after negotiating to lease several floors of the 110-story black tower which dominates the Windy City's skyline.


The tower will be officially renamed sometime this summer, a spokesman for the building management group said.


First opened in 1973, the Sears Tower held the record for the world's tallest building for 25 years until the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia were built in 1998.
