Let’s add Washington D.C & Arlington County to this list! And Hartford trip update #2

Hi frirnds,

Washington D.C.

I am very excited to officially open a NEW empty spot for Washington D.C. Over the past several months, I have seen a lot of different lift videos from Washington DC (of course, paying attention to EVERY INCH OF DETAIL PER VIDEO) & I will have to say, I was blown away with what I was seeing! There are quite a handful of Montgomery lifts, OTIS Gen2, Westinghouse lifts, Dover relay logic lifts Schindler 6400 & 400A, a few KONE lifts & there are even Schindler glass lifts! Of course, I saw a few ThyssenKrupp lifts & clicked on a different lift video each time I saw a ThyssenKrupp lift video. Here is what I got:

  • I predict Washington DC’s average lift criticism rating at a solid 9/15, which is the same average rating as I gave both Freehold & Clinton Township.
  • As for lifts, MOST are OTIS, but they are interesting forms of modern OTIS lifts, including some generic OTIS heavy duty lifts at the Smithsonian African Museum in downtown Washington DC, high speed OTIS MRLs at Marriott’s Marquis & other interesting forms of Gen2 lifts not normally seen, EVEN IN CHARLOTTE! As for Schindler lifts, I have seen a few Schindler 6400/400A lift videos, including some Innovation Schindler modernisations, for example, Marriott hotel at Wardman Park, which has a 1980’s OTIS, which got modernised by Schindler with new motors, controllers & Innovation buttons. Just recently, I was watching a video of that same lift & needless to say, I was pretty impressed with how it was running.
  • If I had to make a prediction where Washington DC/Arlington County would end up on CCRS, it would probably steal Roanoke’s placement & shift every city below Washington D.C. one place lower.
  • As for activities, I SERIOUSLY loved going to the monuments & then going on the trolley. Additionally, the trolley even goes up a MOUNTAIN! This was a very epic trolley! Arlington Cemetery was a beautiful cemetery too.
  • All of the buildings in Washington D.C. are of my favorite height: 10-15 floors. Out of all of the Washington D.C. lift videos, the tallest lifts I’ve seen were in the Marriott Marquis, J.W. Marriott & City Center Marriott (where I filmed the lifts)

On October 27, I will add both Washington D.C. & Arlington to the list, at 8:45 AM.

Hartford

As for Hartford, it isn’t likely we will be going to Hartford at all, but either way, I could care much less about going to Hartford now, after the fiasco that happened in Atlantic City this past August which unfortunately “partly” ruined my desire for filming lifts off the NYC/Clinton Township band.

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
