Never seen a parking garage at a church before. They are unusual

[CaptainElevator42189]

Indeed, and I guess this means that the church/religious installation is massive.

I could hear the clicks in the elevator very claerly.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, because of the relays and limit switches.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Yes, but it might be an Otis that's serviced by ThyssenKrupp.

oh my gosh this is the elevator i got stuck in when i use to live in austin, i lived across the street in the apartments and would take this elevator to the top to play basketball. there was one day where i went in and press the button. and all of a sudden i got stuck in for like an hour and i thought iwas gonna die. but the guys got me out though it was pretty scary

Well, many religious establishments are closed access, because of terrorism concerns and church shootings, which is a real shame.
