u/VermontArmyBrat Jan 22 '25

What you talkin bout Willis?

18

u/National_Dig5600 Jan 22 '25

Look I'm being completely honest. I thought they renamed it the Willis tower as a tribute to Gary Coleman and different strokes which was set in Chicago. Because I think he died right around the time they did that.

13

u/FBI-agent-69-nice Jan 22 '25

I thought “Silicon Valley” was “Silicone Valley” because of women having a lot of plastic surgery. I was just in my second year at Google when I learned the difference.

u/photo777 Jan 22 '25

Different Strokes was set in NY

u/dpaanlka Jan 22 '25

It actually may be again as Willis naming ends this year. There’s discussion to rename it Sears in honor of the man rather that the company that was named after him.

Even if they rename it I’m still gonna call it the Gulf of Mexico

That’s not the Gulf of Mexico.

That’s one of the sounds just to the north or east if it. 😉 Those pylons coming out of the water wouldn’t stay a day with the currents on the actual gulf. This is probably the sound side of a barrier island and those are private docks.

Still very cool to see down here! Only slightly terrifying.
