Sears Tower Revamp

The Sears Tower (that will soon be renamed the Willis Tower later this summer) has an interesting addition coming early June: The Ledge - a glass enclosed observation deck, 4.3 feet beyond the building. The deck will be 103 stories high and an inch and a half thick in an effort to attract more Skydeck visitors. Embarrassingly, I've never been but about 1.3 million people visit the Skydeck each year. There will be four glass enclosures that are retractable for window washing. The Ledges are included in Skydeck admission which is $14.95 for ages 12 and up. Excited for June to try this out!
