New York Manhattan Macy’s Wooden escalator

Macys in Manhattan has, as far as I know, the first and the last working wooden Escalator. It’s still working after 120 years is a testament to the Otis Elevator company, the name you see on almost every elevator in America. The wooden escalator makes a really cool dull thud as the slats line up at the top and bottom of the escalator. It’s a very peaceful and calming sound. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the wooden escalators make a comeback someday. There’s just something timeless and pleasant about the sound and feel of riding on a fully functional 120 year old relic of the past technology.Show more

With only 4 hours to see all we could see in Manhattan, Our friend Dan offered to be our driver and tour guide. We eagerly accepted this generous offer. Dan drove us up and down the streets of Manhattan stopping at the famous landmarks for us to look at, or go visit in person. We actually declined to get out and see most of the attractions in person. We’d just come from Arizona and were woefully unprepared for the cold, wet, rainy weather. We did make some great stops on our tour, I’ll include those videos as I finish them up.
Let me know what you think in the comments section below.
I generally put out a new video on Monday, Wednesday and Friday every week.
