How do I get to ...
2) How do I get to the Willis Tower?
Whachu talkin' about, Willis? We're still smarting from the fact that this stunning edifice lost its title as the world's tallest building in 1996. And despite the fact that the burly building "officially" changed its name from the Sears Tower to the Willis Tower in 2009, we'll shrug our shoulders and keep walking if you refer to it this way.

Does the person asking the question want directions to the Willis Tower? Does the person who answers the question say something like "Go down three blocks, and turn left ..."?
