John Malone Blog 3 – Willis Tower

When I was a kid, I moved around a lot. The second place I came to call home was a suburb of Chicago called Frankfurt. It was the first time I was close to a big city and I still remember how amazed I was at the height of the Willis Tower. It was the tallest thing I had ever seen (I was only 10) and made me feel quite small. The tower has a modern style and looks almost like a bunch of Lego blocks. The twin antennas on the top seemed almost to brush the clouds when I first saw them. I love the simple black theme of the tower, as it is not too distracting and allows you to focus on the interesting shape. It dominates the Chicago skyline and was once the tallest building in the world. I think the Willis Tower is one of my favorite skyscrapers I’ve ever seen because of the amazement I felt the first time I saw it as a kid.
