There were people in the elevator asking me questions and I got confused. I was also sneezing in the elevator. I also thought it was July, and I filmed this on June 25th.

First Look at Uptown Charlotte escalator... - 35 views - 1 day ago
This is Charlotte (pop. 716,874), the 18th largest city in the United States, the largest city in North Carolina, and the population center of the Charlotte Metro (pop. 1,701,799). Charlotte is considered bigger than Atlanta because of its city population, but Atlanta in general is bigger. This is the Uptown area, where most of the high-rises and hotels are.

Schindler 400A Traction Elevator at Piedmont Row East escalator... - 104 views - 2 days ago
Riding one of the Schindler 400A elevators at a very strange residential building in Southpark Charlotte. You go through security AFTER you use the elevators in most circumstances, but in these, you have to scan a badge when you go to floors 4, 5, and 6. This garage is not the YMCA garage, it just had a YMCA sign on it.

I film elevators and escalators all around South Carolina (mostly in Columbia). If you plan to go to Columbia to record elevators and/or escalators, please send me a message and I can help you.

*Columbia, an elevator playland of South Carolina!

Please watch today's elevator video of the day.

About Me: Yes, I am a huge geek in elevators and escalators and I can't believe what varieties I can find in such a small city. My experience into filming elevators in Columbia, SC can be a hard time, but it was worth it, especially in the high-rise buildings. I am also not the only one who films elevators in Columbia.
Country:
United States
Hobbies:
I enjoy recording elevators and escalators, but I also like doing game glitches and analyzing roads. I can also play Guitar Hero Aerosmith on expert, but can't hit 100% of the notes (FC).
Movies:
When I am bored, I watch one movie to keep me interested. I like movies with car chases in it, car driving involved movies, and more.
Music:
I don't mind listening to music once in a while. I usually get annoyed by it due to having to listen to it excessively because of my sister. I usually play music instead of listen to it.
Books:
I like factual books that explain how things work, how to do stuff, science, and music theory.

Reply to elevatorgolfer: No, he is not on YouTube anymore. He closed his account, I think in December of 2008. It is really unfortunate that he is not on YouTube anymore.
