I don't think I've ever been in Sears Tower and although I didn't piss off
of it, I did make it up to the roof of the Standard Oil building.

A freind of mine was doing some kind of maintance work and had these simple
"contractor" id badges that would let you roam around pretty much anywhere
you wanted to. This was all in the pre-9/11 days.

I don't remember if I met him down there for a reason, like grabbing dinner
or whatever but after looking around at the shop in the basement he said I
have something neat to show you. It was obvious from the number of elevators
we transfered from (some only went 2-3 floors before you walked across or
down the hall to another) where we were going but the last door he opened it
was sort of neat seeing daylight.

So I went with him to look around on the roof.

There are railroad tracks along the edge which is for the window washing
rigs, I never crossed those, thus never looked straight down from the
not-really high wall that surrounds the top.

But it was neat looking straight across the sight line and only seeing
horizon, and the top of the John Hancock Center "like across the street".
