Tale of Two Cities

Tuesday, October 30, 2012
Hurricane Sandy
The rain stops, the wind is diminished.
Finally, I take a walk.

I didn't get it at first.
Most shops were closed.
All the Starbucks were closed.
But WiFi lives, even though the store is closed.
Turns out to be a lifeline.

These days you can't get your big toe in a Starbucks or any other coffee shop that offers electricity.  Those from below 34 street have come Uptown... for the JUICE,
heat, food and coffee, but mostly the outlets.

PATERNOSTER LIFT


PROJECT:  Arts Tower
PATERNOSTER LIFT

Built over fifty years ago by the Schindler Lift Company, it is the largest every cyclic elevator with thirty eight, two person cars in a chain of open compartments that move in a loop up and down the building without stopping. 

Passengers can step on or off the paternoster at any floor.  To return this machine to its former glory the cars were removed, strengtened and re-clad to match the original finish.  Every effort has been made to keep its orginality sympathetic to its listed status.


The journey between two floors only takes thirteen seconds, making this the most effective way to travel between close floors.

Seventy six people can be moved up and down the Arts Tower at any one time which is more than a double decker bus.
