I am certainly for a drastic change/improvement, but particularly for a total stripping of the façade of the Sears, and while making it more energy efficient, to give the colossus a more pleasant looks as well. Gulf+Western in Manhattan had become largely an empty drlict building until D. Trump bought it, stripped it down and completely recladded it in a ritzy skin. Now, people cant pay enough to rent space in there. The Sears can use the same treatment--not painting it silver or something as cheapish as its current skin, but a total and well-thought-of recladding to make it more inviting to the renters than scaring them away as it does now. Whether such improvement is initiated from an owner in Manhattan or Dubai, is immaterial. But I can understand why some of the folks in this forum are so defensive about the Sears: they are used to its dumpy looks
