Sears Tower to open glass bottom box at 1300 feet

In July, the Sears Tower Skydeck will open “the ledge”, its newest attraction.

The “ledge” is a glass box extending 4.3 feet out over the edge of the 103rd floor, offering an unobstructed view of the city. Up to 5 guests at a time will be able to stand on the inch and a half thick glass.

I have a lot of faith in structural engineers, but I’m just not sure I’d feel entirely comfortable stepping out on this thing? Would you?

Daily deal – 3 piece luggage set for $28

My daily deal for today is for the “Fiji” 3 piece luggage set, currently on sale at Sears.com.

The set consists of a 24″ upright roller, a 19″ upright roller and a carry-on tote bag. The bags are made of 600 count denim polyester, and the item description claims they are “expandable”.

If you have a Sears store in your area with the item in stock then you can order online for an in-store pickup to save on shipping. If you’d rather save the gas and just have Sears ship it to you you’ll have to pay about $12 for ground shipping.

The item description says the bags are “value”, which usually means they are of lesser quality than most bag sets, but at $28 you really can’t complain. The three bags should be spacious enough for a 2 person trip for a couple of days.
