Oh wow, you do live here, do you think you can tell me about any other elevators on LI that I should know about. Send me a message if you do.

I am really not sure about any elevators here man. However, I was thinking of recording a couple of them at my college and showing them to you :)

[JonElevator]

Please try to record them.

the basement could've been there, but was not made a store floor until a few years after the store opened

Yes, it sounds straining really badly.

It sounds like it's REALLY straining as it reaches the third floor.

Dan, they couldn't have made it go to the basement if its hydraulic. I think it always went to the basement. Especially the fact that the machine room is in the basement.
