The Ledge at Sears Tower Opens

Following the lead of Toronto's CN Tower and the Grand Canyon Skywalk, the Sears Tower Skydeck has opened "The Ledge" to give visitors the chance to experience a dizzying view straight down. And I don't mean a forehead-pressed-against-glass view, rather a floating-in-air one. Four glass boxes extend just over 4 feet from the west side of the Sears Tower at 1,353 feet above the ground, and provide what is certainly one of the most unique views in Chicago. If you want a little taste for what you're in for, here are some great pictures and a short video from my recent visit to The Ledge.
