I like it more than both as well. My new favorite is the Trump International Tower Chicago. Haha, this thread is pretty outdated.

It is cool; just saw it last week and will again the first week of June - but I still prefer the Hancock building - just plain stong and simple

I really love it's location near the waterfront.

Have you seen the movie "The In-Laws"? That's normally what I think of when I see the Hancock Tower in Chicago while walking around on Lake Shore Dr.

ESB quicker than a heartbeat. It's historic, iconic, classy, timeless, beautiful

I find the Sears Tower ugly, its height is its only impressive attribute.

Definitely the Empire State Building, and don't say I'm bias, because even if I was from Chicago I'd probably pick the Empire State Building, just better architecture and more history.

Sears is hideous.

Empire State Building is timeless.
