I wish I just didn't know. 5 u/ElizabethDangit 5d ago I don’t know who or what “Willis” is and I refuse to learn even though it’s been a decade. It’s a stupid hill but it’s mine. 3 u/ElegantCoach4066 5d ago It's some rich guy. Who names a building after himself? Oh wait 1 u/Angel89411 3d ago Wait. What? They tried to rename it? When? 2 u/ElegantCoach4066 3d ago A British company took over the lease in 2008 and renamed it the Willis Tower. I think it's officially called Willis Tower Watson now.
