    For some reason, this was in recommended and decided to give it a look then nostalgia hit me. I remembered I rode these elevators back in 8th grade (with 8th grade classes) back in 2002 when they had old buttons and lights on it. Such a good memory!

    I was here last Tuesday, and I found out these elevators are getting modernized again. Also if you're ever in Chicago again, check out the elevator in the Apple Store along the river. Youll see why in my video of it.

    I rode these elevators a few days ago and they were in INDEPENDENT SERVICE (except the express elevator) This caused so much confusion as other customers thought the elevators were stuck or broken since the call button would not call the elevators that go G-7 floors

    The express elevator takes you directly to the floor without any stops in between the lowest and highest floors.
