THE SEARS TOWER IN CHICAGO

The Sears Tower

We visited the Sears Tower some years ago and I see it every summer when I ride the bus to Texas. It is a beautiful building, especially at night with the lights on it. The building has 110 floors and is 1,450 feet tall. It was completed in 1974 and was the world's tallest building until it was surpassed in 1996 by the Petronas Towers (1483 feet) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.



We went in the tower and to the top of it on the elevator. It is kind of scary to stand on the top floor and look out the windows. I felt very shaky and almost queasy. I stepped back away from the windows after a very short look out the windows. I didn't like the feeling!
