The Sears Tower will get a name change to Willis Tower:

As with all name changes, it will still be called Sears Tower by us locals. I still refer to the Sox ball park as Comisky Park, even though the name has changed. Some have stated this is like renaming the Empire State Building, but I think Sears lost its glint when the store moved out of the building.

Marshall Field changed the stores name to Macy's and people were very upset at first. Now they are used to it.
