A couple of sources (Inquisitr, USA Today) have recently published stories about the new glass balconies on the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower in Chicago.
The new balconies "are suspended 1,353 feet in the air and jut out 4 feet from the 103rd floor of the Sears Tower," according to the Inquisitr.
USA Today had some interesting comments from visitors:
It's like walking on ice," said Margaret Kemp, of Bishop, Calif., who said her heart was still pounding even after stepping away from the balcony. "That first step you take - 'am I going down?"'If you're in Chicago anyway, the Tower is worth a visit.
Kemp was among the visitors who got a sneak preview of the balconies Wednesday. "The Ledge," as the balconies have been nicknamed, open to the public Thursday.
(Note: The Sears Tower has been renamed. It is now the Willis Tower.)
