I like the way its asymmetrical setbacks give it a distinctly different shape when seen from different angles. I like its appearance less, however, since the addition of the smaller antennae.

I'm glad I got to visit the Sears Tower when it was still the undisputed tallest building in the world. I couldn't believe it when the Petronas Towers were completed and I saw a diagram comparing them to the Sears Tower. While some legitimately taller buildings have been (and continue to be) built, I will never give up the belief that the Sears Tower was cheated out of its World's Tallest title 6 years too soon.

Perhaps the most mind-blowing aspect of Sears is the way it dwarfs its neighbors 311 Wacker and AT&T, which would themselves dominate the skylines of most cities.
