I regret to report that I will no longer be going to 2 Broadway every Tuesday. I might go back, but I honestly don't know. Anyways this is a final, well done take of the highest rise elevators, which serve floors 20 - 30. FYI the building's elevator layout is like this:
2 - 5
5 - 9
10 - 15
15 - 20
20 - 30 [31, 32]
Each elevator back consists of four cars, except for the 20 - 30 bank, where there are six cars. Two of the cars also serve 31 and 32, which are service floors. Interestingly those two special cars (which have slower doors) do not have their own call button - all six are on one controller. To get a service floor car (if you don't happen to get one at the lobby) you must go up to 30 and then use the Up call button there to bring up a service floor car. Kind of a weird layout, considering that this building already has service elevators that go to 31 and 32.
Anyways I hope you have enjoyed my videos of 2 Broadway, as it's likely I won't and no other filmer will get to go here.

My ACE meetings are now at a different building (you will learn what it is soon), so I have no reason to justify going into 2 Broadway. And yes, they do have turnstyles.
