Much to my surprise, Chicago is quite the awesome city, rivaling NYC in many ways. I first visited it for work a few months back and decided to take a short vacation and explore the downtown area. There's a lot to see and do, more so than my meager four days allowed for. My first time out there I did most of the touristy things, including a visit to two of Chicago's most recognizable landmarks, the John Hancock Center and the Sears Tower. Err, Willis Tower as it's now called. Both offer some of the best views of the city, looking down. After visiting each skyscraper the question arose, is it worth visiting both? If not, which one is the preferred stop? After much thought I've decided that a lengthy comparison between the two isn't necessary. But I wrote one up anyway. I won't blame you for skipping to the end for the spine tingling answer.
