Karen VZ - Thursday, February 21st, 2008 @ 8:21pm • Rating:  Five stars.It just takes your breath away ! The view from the observation deck will leave you with lots of info on Chicago as a whole. Chicago would not be Chicago without the Sears Tower ! Karen Kevin - Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 @ 4:13pm • Rating: Five stars.Was,is,and will always be the Mighty Giant of Chicago.A landmark that will stand the test of time.A Giant among Giants.I rest my case... Victor Gonzalez - Thursday, January 24th, 2008 @ 1:22pm • Rating: Five stars.IMHO, the sears is still one of the greatest towering superhighs in the world. Think about it, Burj Dubai, inspite of its wasteful towering height still will not compare to the Sears in Square footage. The Sears Tower was there for created for effeciency and economy. Seems to me that Burj was created to just say hey we have the tallest building in the world. We have yet to see if there is a market for all the ridiculous building going on over there. Here in America we build up because the demand for it becomes evident. jack mobley - Friday, August 24th, 2007 @ 11:16am • Rating: Five stars.I love how it looks different from almost every angle  George Baritakis - Thursday, August 16th, 2007 @ 10:55pm • Rating: Five stars.i have been inside Sears Tower, loved it, still looks modern and awesome. im sad its no longer worlds tallest building, but it sure has a place in my heart!

Efficient. Broad-shouldered. The lobby renovation of the mid-1990s moved the tourists out of the main lobbies to the Jackson Street (south) side of the building, and it was a welcome change. I worked on the 74th floor of the tower for six years and it was a very pleasant building to work in. Digital Junkie - Monday, July 23rd, 2007 @ 1:02am • Rating: Five stars.SOM - what can I say. This building just screams masculinity in it's architecture! I love the simplicity of its looks and disign. The building looks like a city skyline within itself . Beautiful building! I give the Sears Tower six stars. David Shmuel - Sunday, July 22nd, 2007 @ 6:02pm • Rating: Five stars.Growing up in Chicago in the 1970s, I fell in love with the Sears Tower. It came to symbolize everything that was Chicago. It still does, and I still love it. Now that I live away from the city, whenever I come to visit and see the Sears Tower again, it's like seeing an old friend. Walter- CHI town - Wednesday, June 27th, 2007 @ 9:23pm • Rating: Five stars.Ahhhh the Sears Tower one of the greatest towers ever built!!!! Bold and handsome this building makes chicago what it is!!! The building is a tube design of nine different segments (tubes) put together that gives the building its superior strength and sturdiness!!! The sears tower held the worlds tallest building title for nearly 30 years. thats, impressive besides its good looks and advanced arcitectual design of course. Ben Miller - Wednesday, June 20th, 2007 @ 1:53pm • Rating: Five stars.What a skyscraper should be. Strong, assymetrical, square-shouldered, and powerful. A brilliant and understated design.  dennis bosano - Saturday, February 3rd, 2007 @ 9:52am • Rating: Five stars.the design is minimal but stands out to the rest of the structure that surrounds it John - Monday, January 1st, 2007 @ 6:11pm • Rating: Five stars.This building is the best in the world. USA is the country that started it all and all of a sudden, foriegn countries decide to start building skyscrapers by cheating with un occcupyable (sp)spires. that is fony. shugo - Monday, November 27th, 2006 @ 12:35am • Rating:  One star.There is no art in it, It is just like a box of flip top cigars put on top of the other..... shaxawan - Thursday, November 9th, 2006 @ 2:48am • Rating: One star.the building is nice. i live in iraq indarbnd city in kurdstan dave - Monday, October 23rd, 2006 @ 12:08pm • Rating: Five stars.The grand daddy of them all. Sears tower still reigns in Skyscraper history. Randall Krause - Saturday, October 14th, 2006 @ 1:55am • Rating: Five stars.Sears Tower was the last supertall building constructed during the International architecture period, and SOM's interpretation of the style is remarkably bold and awe-inspiring. Sears Tower, alongside John Hancock Center and the Standard Oil Building, were the epitome of the Chicago skyscraper craze during the latter half of the 20th century -- a time when the Chicago economy was booming and tall buildings were a sign of commercial strength and success. Engineers sought different ways of emphasizing the city of "broad shoulders", and the desire for Chicagoans (esp. their businesses) to always be bigger, bolder, and better. Sears Tower is perfectly reminiscient of a thriving, innovative period in Chicago architectural history. Kirby - Wednesday, July 5th, 2006 @ 11:31pm • Rating: Five stars.Ahh the Sears Tower is amazing. One cant really get to know how HUGE this building is until they take a helicopter ride around it. not from the base oe even from the observation deck can one realize how huge and titanic this builing is!! Chris - Tuesday, May 30th, 2006 @ 2:35pm • I like thew height, but I feel that the tower looks sort of ugly. It appears almost like five skyscrapers in one, and the design I guess is too dark, and kind of bland. Still is unique though. apollo - Saturday, April 1st, 2006 @ 10:16pm • Rating: Five stars.Sears Tower is the greatest building ever built. It is the world's tallest building, no questions asked. Taipei cheated their way to the top, and as far as I am concerned, Sears is the tallest. This building is my absolute favorite, and always will be. No one can ever beat its strength and beauty. Casey - Wednesday, March 15th, 2006 @ 9:53pm • Rating: One star.Greatiest Building Ever Tony Contreras - Saturday, March 11th, 2006 @ 8:59am • Rating: Five stars.The Sears Tower is what Chicago is all about. A strong building with bold shoulders. People from outside Chicago do not understand. james jacob - Monday, March 6th, 2006 @ 12:04am • Rating: Three stars.breathtakingly tall. but it lacks originality. then again, it was way ahead of its time. Kevin - Tuesday, January 24th, 2006 @ 5:20pm • Rating: Five stars.The building is iconic. Muscular and no-nonsense -- perfect for this city. kenneth Coleman - Saturday, October 8th, 2005 @ 11:48am • Rating:  Two stars.It looks like someone glued several buildings together. I think there is too much function and not enough form Linda Wines - Monday, August 29th, 2005 @ 2:25pm • Rating: Five stars.well first off us Illinoisans are proud that we have the tallest buiding in the US here...this is a very beautiful structure...and it stands out in the skyline all by itself... If you get the chance take the elevator ride to the top and see the fantastic view ...you have no idea of what youre missing until you do!!! Wilbert NYC - Sunday, August 7th, 2005 @ 1:33am • Rating: Three stars.its design is bulky but still it was a inovative design for its time, with the "tube construction" as already explained, one thing for sure the sears tower has been always the tallest building until taipei 101 surpassed it (in hieght of last occupational floor)if it was for total hieght with spire or antenna the late North Tower(World Trade Center) would have been the tallest building in the world at 1,701' Sears tower extended to 1,705' I rest my case. GH - Monday, April 18th, 2005 @ 11:32pm • Rating: Two stars.Sure, it is tall, but i do feel its slightly misshapen, or put together wrong Tony Lopez - Thursday, October 21st, 2004 @ 11:51pm • Rating: Three stars.Makes a strong statement. Bulky, strong, a structure that does not seem to "put on airs."
