Third Cellar Field of 64: World Landmarks - Page 9

Yeah, but at least a commoner can set foot in the Sears Tower instead of looking at it from 100 yeards away through a wrought iron fence.

(But I would have voted for Buckingham Palace myself, because the Sears Tower looks like a couple big shoe boxes stacked next to one another.)

Edit: a "yeard" is also known as a "ye olde yard," an English measurement equal to 3 Queen's heads, measured from bloody neck stump to top of crown.

Empire State Building

Used to be a time when you could go to Trafalgar Square and climb aboard the lions at its base - I remember being photographed astride one - now it's cordoned off, and the Square is just one of many open spaces to gather. Even after 'Sleepless in Seattle'. I still go for:

Empire State Building

Still a great symbol of American achievement
