Go to House on the Rock instead. Much better than stepping foot in chicago.

If you got me into Chicago (never) there is no way in hell you could even get me on the elevator. 2,500 foot cliffs... hell yeah!!! 1000 feet of human engineering, not a snowballs chance in hell.

I would not be able to crawl out there on that glass. Hell, I hate standing near the windows of the Sears Tower.

You get in touble if you do the whole Farris Bueller's day off stunt where you stand on the bar and put your head up against the window. Looks like enough people did it they decided to put this on. I'd get in it, but it would be a little freaky.

sometimes when I would be on the upper floors of these tall Class A buildings on a very windy day, it would be rock a bye baby time.

That's what I did on the windows they put in the floor of the CN Tower's observation deck when I was a kid.

I would do that!

Looks pretty sweet to me.

I was on the roof of one of the twin towers back in the 90s.

You could feel the building swaying in the wind, very unnerving feeling.

it's gonna take more than that to get me to return to chicago.

i hate that place.

i love the Sears Tower. It is creepy!

I have family there, so I have to visit once in a while. Guess I will have to check that out. BTW, it will no longer be the Sears Tower, they are renaming it for a UK investing firm!

Would they be pissed if I wore my hobnailed boots out there?

yeah my teacher did that at the cn tower. where there is regular floor and then there is glass. he said it really fucks with your head if you jump from the regular floor onto the glass, because your mind thinks you're literally jumping off the tower.

Go to the CN Tower in Toronto. It's 1,122 feet up! Here's a shot of my feet. Too bad it was cloudy....

I don't like heights. I don't like standing on a chair. A step ladder is pushing it. I played Mirror's Edge as a video game and haven't sweat so much since i was in high school playing sports!

It is actually not too bad. The elevator moves very fast. I couldn't tell if it was me or if it was the elevator, but once it got up to speed it felt as if it was swaying back and forth as it went up.

The freaky thing about the stratosphere is that the lower windows lean out away from you on the observation deck. You could put your feet on them if you wanted to. GACK!
Although I have no problem enjoying a steak dinner while I am up there.

Double, no, TRIPLE FUCK THAT!!

Not only do I not like heights, I think they made that building a big target.

I did the same.

Quoted:

We put my cousin next to the window in the Signature Room at the top of the Hancock and he pulled one of those. I've never been one for observation decks but I like the atmosphere there, I need more than just sights.

That said, I am DONE with Cook County and couldn't be happier.

I am so fucking affraid of hieghts that those pictures scared me. They really scare the shit out of me.

My mom used to work in te Sears Tower when I was a kid. I went up to her floor 82 or 89 a lot. I could barely get close to the windows. On really windy days you can feel the building swaying.

FUCK THAT SHIT.
