I don't know why you made the bad decision to advertise that in the Chicago newspapers. Really a bad choice. I don't know if you read the Chicago newspapers or watch Chicago news, BUT us Chicagoans overwhelmingly do NOT want the 2016. MY neighbors, friends etc are not pleased that your company did that. Stupid move. I will never ever do business with your company EVER. Same with everyone I talk to. By donating money to terrible Mayor Daley's pipe dream, I believe many people will boycott your company. Changing the name, not important. Donating money for the Chicago 2016 is really unforgivable. Shame on you. Don't you guys do your research?? Leads me to believe your company is pretty short sighted and careless. NO OLYMPICS 2016. Learn it , live it.

This might be a good news as they have announced that they are going to offer jobs to the residents.. Correct me if i'm wrong but i think the disadvantage of this is that the tower becomes unpopular.. People from around the world will not recognize the name Willis Tower.. It would be hard to build up the popularity of the tower in such name, i think.. Anyways, this shouldn't be a great issue to ponder on..
