That's where the Chicago blues started, baby.

Coming from Chicago I doubt it. It was built in 1973, well after any point when the Stones on the road would act like tourists and check out stuff like they might of when younger men in places for a first time. The only reason I could think of would be to check out the view from such a tall skyscraper, something easily accomplished at the John Hancock building, which is right in the neighborhood of all the swanky hotels they stay in. The Ritz Carlton for all tours since 1989 at least, is right next door to The Hancock, which is almost as tall, easier to access, and has a bar on the top. Plus it has a better view thanks to location. On the other hand, the Sears Tower was the tallest building in the world for a long time, so maybe one of them would have the desire to feather their traveling cap by going to the top once, but the Stones in Chicago have more often been sighted in old Blues bars, than top tourist destinations.

If you live near there, you should know it's no longer the Sears Tower but instead the Willis Tower.

And really, was this thread necessary?

A colonial post would have the trademark: smoking smiley

I`m sure Stones have been all over the place especially in such an interesting city like Chicago.
Good to know the difference between the Hancock Observatory and Sears Tower by the way ! thumbs up
