what's in a name?

It was recently announced that our fair city's Sears Tower will be renamed the Willis Tower by summer's end.

My immediate thought was 'Nuh-uh...it won't!'

Next thought? 'Who is Willis?'

The Tribune and Sun Times set me straight on that one (an insurance group. Hmmm...all shades of interesting! Bah!) but I still am not at all sold on the name change.

Then I saw a group on Facebook (don't laugh) called something like 'Chicagoans for Wesley Willis Tower'. Now that's a name change I can back!

Just look at this incredible art...

Doing some further research I found this fun posting.

In your face, snooty British insurance giants!
