This is the Sears Building. It will be, and always should be, the Sears Building. If there is any one thing that will destroy us a culture, it could be reasonably well argued that it will be our willingness to sell our history for a quick buck. What's next, the McDonald's Bridge? The Goldman Sachs Building? Kentucky Grilled National Park? Blackwater Battle Monument?
There's been enough whoring of our history, just for a few extra bucks. It's bad enough that consumer culture has left almost nothing to hand down through the generations, now it's getting to the point where we cant even hand down some of our landmarks.
