Chicagoans In Disbelief A Day After Announcement That Sears Tower Will Become Willis Tower

Chicagoans In Disbelief A Day After Announcement That Sears Tower Will Become Willis Tower - : "The Sears Tower will be known as the Willis Tower in a few months, and Chicagoans are in disbelief a day after the announcement.

As CBS 2's Mike Parker reports, the iconic tower of steel and glass has anchored the city's skyline for more than 35 years, and almost looks like it was constructed in tribute to the city's big shoulders. But with the name change looming, few Chicagoans seemed to be willing to shrug it off.

What do you think of the name change?

The managers of the iconic building announced on Thursday that its name will be changed to the Willis Tower, effective this summer. The London-based insurance broker Willis Group Holdings Ltd. announced Thursday that 500 of its employees now scattered throughout Chicago are moving in, and will gain naming rights as part of the deal with the owners of the building.

On Thursday, all through the floors of the Sears Tower, the phones jangled all day with complaints."
