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.

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.

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.
