Chicana on the Edge

Mentioning the unmentionable since 2004

Sears Tower Skydeck

I’ve wanted to visit the Sears Tower (not the Willis Tower) ever since they installed the sections of the Skydeck where you can stand on a glass floor and pretend you’re suspended 103 floors above the ground. I finally made it last night.

The path out of the building, strings you through a gift shop and a place to get food. On my way through the gift shop, I had to get a picture with this spheroidal thing that honors the Chicago Bulls basketball team:

I occasionally enjoy being a tourist in my own town.

    Livelearn- hmm…maybe it's time to make a bucket list. Yes, this would have been on it. I feel better now that I've done it. Other bucket items would be making a pile of money, helping secure my only niece's financial future and publishing a book.

    So, does this count as something on your bucket list? Do you even have a bucket list?

    At any rate, good for you! It is, indeed, touristy, but what an awesome experience. I was there five years ago with friends from Argentina and enjoyed seeing their reactions more than anything.
