Halloween Special: What a Hotel Looks Like When Power Goes Out
| On one of my recent stays at a local Hampton Inn when my Pop-Pop flew in from Utah, there was a power outage which was a unique experience for me because that's never happen to me while I've stayed at a hotel before so we decided to film what the hotel looked like with just the emergency lights on. The outage lasted roughly about an hour give or take a few minutes I believe, not sure what caused it but it affected everyone for about a block down the street from what I heard. Special thanks to JP, John & Alex along with the Hampton Inns both in Cornelius and Huntersville for everything! You really know how to spread the Hamptonality! :) | 2015-10-31 00:49:35 |

Charlotte Douglas International Airport Hourly Parking Garage
| Charlotte Douglas International Airport has been making some major renovations and adding new parking garages etc. We had to go pick up my grandfather at the airport late Friday night when he flew in from Utah. We parked in hourly parking deck and got to ride the new Schindler elevators. They are really nice and the nice blue lights on the parking garages give a super cool effect/ | 2015-10-25 00:49:34 |

Hampton Inn & Suites Full Hotel Tour Dobson, NC
| This Hampton & Suites full hotel tour video is dedicated to Jonathan Mayse which the dedication is mentioned towards the end of the video. Jonathan, thanks for following me on Facebook and I hope you like the video. This video features some of the pictures we took of this hotel back a couple of years ago and then video has footage of newer renovations done to the hotel. We stayed at this hotel when we attended Mayberry Days this year in Mt. Airy, NC. My dad had won tickets (on a Facebook Contest) to the Jeff & Sheri Easter (with Easter Brothers) concert at the Mount Airy High School during Mayberry Days so I put a few photos of that occasion within the video also (when we start the room tour) to commemorate that fact. This Hampton is a Connie Award Winner Hampton Inn & Suites which is pretty impressive! If you like Barney Fife on Andy Griffith Show, towards the end of the video there's a little preview of the talking Hallmark Christmas Ornament of Barney which I had in my pocket and accidentally had hit the play button so thanks for watching and hope you enjoy this hotel tour in Dobson, NC. For more info on this Hampton, check out this website at http://www.sheltonvineyards.com/hampt... | 2015-10-08 19:51:35 |

For Wyatt: Keep Up The Good Work & Enjoy A Blast From The Past
| I wanted to dedicate this video to Wyatt who's been recovering from an extensive surgery and he's been working really hard getting back on his feet. Wyatt, I'm thankful that you are doing so great and I just wanted to say keep up the great work little buddy! This is a blast from the past video compilation of some videos I found on a card the other day which I believe these were from 2012 and some of them are individually already uploaded to YT but some of my newer subscribers may have not seen them yet and I thought it would be neat to make a collage video of these old videos which highlight different brands of elevators and there's even an escalator in the bunch. | 2015-08-29 19:51:33 |

Comfort Suites in Strawberry Plains, TN
| This is the elevator at Comfort Suites in Strawberry Plains. This is the one I had made a mistake with the photo of the hotel.

Otis Elevators at Comfort Suites in Kodak, TN
| Corrected version of this video. Previous version which I just deleted had the wrong Comfort Suites picture. When I was editing the video, I had put the CS in Strawberry Plains with this video but then after I uploaded the video, I realized I had the wrong photo. Only thing changed was the actual photo at the start of the video. This was one of our stops on our recent trip to TN. Overall, very nice elevator although it did have a pretty loud fan in this one. The decor of the wall and panel matched up real well together. For more info on this hotel, check out their website at http://kodakcomfortsuites.com/ | 2015-08-15 19:51:29 |

Dover Elevator in Parking Deck of Marriott Downtown Knoxville
| This had a vintage vertical floor indicator on the ground level outside the elevator but didn't see it working. This elevator really didn't have a Dover buzz but it did chime at least once or twice. The directional indicators were working. We did a quiet ride on our 2nd trip up. If you look you can tell that the inside vertical indicator had been taken out in this one. I think it's interesting that the parking deck which is located right to the side of the hotel has a Dover and inside the hotel itself with the service elevator having series Otis 1 fixtures & I believe modded Otis Lobby elevators. For more info on this interesting hotel, check out their website at http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel... | 2015-08-12 19:51:29 |

We didn't stay here but we plan to on a return trip to the area. For more info, check out their website at http://www.wildernessatthesmokies.com/ | 2015-08-12 19:51:29 |

Great Downtown Views of Knoxville from Scenic Elevators at Marriott
| These give a great view of downtown Knoxville, TN & the atrium of the Marriott hotel. They also have a unique shape to them. I believe these are modded Otis Elevators. An extra bonus is we actually got to ride the service elevator down from the 11th floor & it is a Otis Series 1, we didn't really get a cab view of the service elevator due to the service cart but that was OK we did get views of the floor indicator and the fixtures & it was a neat ride down so thanks for the invitation to ride down together in that one. For more info on this hotel, check out their website at http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel...

Happy Birthday to My Mom
| Today is my mom's birthday so this is a birthday video card for her. Happy Birthday Mom! I love you! The church is something that we came across at The Depot at Gibson Mill this past weekend when we were out celebrating her birthday early by spending the day together with family doing things she likes to do which we had gone to eat lunch at an old fashion diner (Punchy's) and then exploring all afternoon at The Depot. She likes to collects country churches, so it made for the perfect gift for me to give her. The Depot at Gibson Mill is a neat place to explore. I have done a video of the Westbrook freight elevator they have there which you can find here at this link https://youtu.be/lPG6UCGuxmM For more info on the Depot, check out their website at http://www.depotgibsonmill.com/

Dover Elevator at the Microtel Hotel
| We were curious to see if this would have a Dover Impulse elevator and we were right. The file for this video got corrupted or something because it wasn't playing right at the point of the ride going down from 3 to 1 when I was in the process of putting it together so you may see a glitch or two at that point in the video but for the most part it seems like it processed ok.

Dover Impulse Elevator at Hampton Inn Oak Ridge, TN
| I remember seeing a tweet on twitter sometime ago from this Hampton Inn that said they were a cozy 60 room Hampton Inn & I had replied back asking what kind of elevator they have to which they tweeted back saying great ones, come by & check them out so that is what we did when we were in the area and I have to agree with them, they do have great elevators. They also have something in their fitness center that I have not seen in other fitness centers before which you will see what that is in the video. :) For more info on this nice Hampton Inn in the Secret City, check out their links below: http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hote...

TKE Elevators at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Island Hotel Pigeon Forge, TN
| This video shows 3 of the ThyssenKrupp elevators at this hotel. We didn't really get a tour as this place was a bit busy but we do show a little bit of the lobby and hallways. It's an interesting hotel to explore. It has long hallways with turns that just never seem to end. Each room has a balcony that either overlooks the village of shops that they have built at the Island or the river.

Full Hotel Tour After Lobby Renovations of Hampton Inn & Suites
| On our recent trip to TN, we kind of did a hotel hop stay. The first one we stayed at is the Hampton Inn & Suites in downtown Knoxville. We had visited this hotel on one of our previous visits & met the GM Anita Lane & got a full hotel tour at that time but since then they have renovated the lobby & redid the fitness center so we decided to do an updated hotel tour for ya'll. Special thanks to Anita, Cody & all the fine staff at this Hampton Inn & Suites which I must say is on my list of all time favorite Hamptons.

Classic Talking Dover Elevator with Vertical Floor Indicator
| This was a neat find. The hotel seems to be under renovations in parts. Not sure if there are plans to mod these or not. Kind of interesting because hotel seems to be two buildings merged into one and lobby is at entrance but elevators to get to the room floors are in the very back. You walk through a long hallway and come to conference area then pool and fitness center then continue walking through more of a hallway before coming to the elevators. http://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/... | 2015-08-01 00:42:17 |

Otis Series 7 Gen2 Elevator with ReGen Drives at Home2
| A brand new Home2 in Knoxville, West has the really nice Otis Series 7 Gen2 Elevators. Special thanks to GM Bobby Howard for letting us come and tour his newest hotel. I first met Bobby up in Huntington, WV when he was the manager of the Hampton Inn that I had the honor of being a guest speaker at their Grand Opening ceremony. Bobby also has actually asked me to be at the Home2's Grand Opening coming up very soon but due to my High School orientation schedule conflict, I will not be able to attend that ceremony but we will be featuring this Home2 on my website for Bobby & his Home2 team. Here is the first of several videos that we made during our recent stay at this great new hotel.

| My former preschool teacher is on a cross country road trip and she has been sharing photos of that trip. They stayed at a very nice American owned motel in OK and she gave me permission to share her photos with ya'll. This motel kind of has a neat feature that most hotels have gotten away from...Thanks Mrs. Ellen for sharing. It's neat to see places like this. Her statement about this place "Wish there were more than one of these - wonderful, homey, vintage place to stay, complete with actual keys kept in cubbyholes behind the front desk, the world's strongest shower, and the sweetest, friendliest staff you'd ever want to see. If you are ever in the area, stay here." Their info is located below & at end of video.

Full Hotel Tour of the Winston Salem's Hampton Inn & Suites University Area
| This hotel is #1 on Trip Advisor for hotels in Winston-Salem! They know how to show Hamptonality with a capital H! :) A special thank you to General Manager Summer Combs & her fine staff for a great stay here at the Hampton Inn & Suites located in the University Area of Winston-Salem, NC. I had met Summer several years back in Wilkesboro when she was the GM at that Hampton. I still have the "Welcome to our hotel TJElevatorfan" banner that she had put in the lobby in Wilkesboro hanging up in my bedroom :) Thank you to Summer & her staff here in Winston-Salem for the custom t-shirt they made for me to add to my gift collection and also for the gift card from O'Charley's (those will be featured in the next video from here) For more info on this Hampton Inn & Suites, check out their Facebook Page & website at the links below:

Schindler Elevator at Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine
| Here is the very nice and quiet Schindler elevator at the office where my VP Shunt doctor is at. We were there for a yearly check up of my VP Shunt that I have and they used to have this elevator locked off for only staff to use but now they have changed departments around in the building & now the elevator is open for the public to ride as well so we took a ride on it today after my appointment. We had a little boy ride with us but then decided he had changed his mind about riding the elevator. | 2015-06-23 23:13:06 |

For Ryan Okpych: NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC
| For Father's Day, I took my dad & grandfather to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. We got the High Octane tour that along with your admission to the museum exhibits, you get lunch at the Pit Stop Cafe & one simulator ride plus a NASCAR Hall of Fame Lanyard. It was a fun but tiring day. My Papa is the main one who loves the sport of racing but both my dad & I found the museum to be rather interesting and would highly recommend it if you are ever in Charlotte. For more info, you can visit their website at http://www.nascarhall.com/ for photos we took, check out my FB page album at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s... | 2015-06-22 23:13:06 |

A Tour on Top of the Roof of Biltmore Estate ( Specialty: Roof Tour )
| Best viewed in theater mode. We were in Asheville this week & were given 3 free passes to Biltmore Estate which had come from a Hampton Inn guest who had purchased three 2 day passes & something came up that they needed to get home & wouldn't be able to use the tickets for the 2nd day as planned. We decided to take the roof top tour while we were at Biltmore which the nice thing about this tour is that while you are outside up on the roof, you can take pictures and video. One of the neat things we saw on the roof besides the great views was the top of the elevator shaft of the historic Otis elevator! There is still no video or picture taking allowed actually inside the house which part of the roof top tour takes place on the top floor inside the house (which is not part of the regular house tour) which was really neat to see. We even had to climb a small tricky spiral staircase in the observatory room to go to the windows where we exit out onto the roof. This video is a combination of pictures & videos we took while out on the roof. After our tour, we decided to get an early dinner at the Stable Cafe which even though it was near closing time, the staff were very friendly & the food was tasty as always. Bonus footage of a close up view of the exterior elevator shaft windows which if you look carefully, you can see the cables inside :) For more info on the tours offered at Biltmore Estate, check out their website at http://www.biltmore.com/visit/things-... | 2015-06-17 23:13:05 |

I-485 is Finally Completed: 27 Years in the Making
| On June 5th 2015 which was this past Friday, the last section of Interstate 485 opened to the public completing the 67 mile loop. Construction began back in 1988 on the first section of I-485 which was the first 10 miles of the loop so this 67 mile interstate was 27 years in the making from start to finish. To commemorate this event, we decided to take a complete road trip on Inner Loop I-485! This video's starting point is around the bridges at the intersection of I-485 & I-77 between Exits 67 & 1 which we continue around the entire loop & end up back around the bridges that are between Exits 67 & 1 Hope all of you who enjoy road trips will enjoy this video :) For more info on this interstate, check out this link http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-485... | 2015-06-07 23:13:04 |

Celebrating The 22nd Anniversary of Elevator Photography
| This video is a celebration of the 22nd Anniversary of Elevator Photography as part of my tribute to Dieselducy for being a great friend to not only me but a lot of others who have enjoyed watching his YouTube channel for many years.

This video features an announcement from me about a brand new DVD which is now available on my website & a brand new video we filmed of the Dover Impulse Elevators at the Hampton Inn in Cornelius, NC. A "Tribute to Dieselducy" DVD will feature some of the videos that we have filmed together throughout the 5 years that we have known each other which this video will be included on that DVD, Be sure to check out The elevaTOURS Story on Dieselducy's YouTube Channel at https://youtu.be/ZLXSXAH7gaM For details about the Tribute DVD, check out my website at http://www.tjelevatorfan.com/tj-gear-... | 2015-06-05 23:13:04 |

A View of Uptown Charlotte, NC from Top of 7th Street Parking Garage
| Here is a video of the 7th Street Parking Garage Oits Series 1 elevators. I don't think we have done these before, we may have but if we did, it was so long ago that I have forgotten.
