Schindler 5500 or 3300 Elevators? Brand New Hilton Garden Inn
Brand new Hilton Garden Inn located at Westgate Mall in Spartanburg SC has some pretty nifty Schindler Elevators. It's hard for me to tell if these are the 3300 or 5500 model. We decided to make a silent ride video on these so the sounds and tone etc could be heard clearly.2019-02-25 23:28:21

Schindler Elevator At Nellie's Southern Kitchen In Belmont, NC

It is owned by Kevin Jonas Sr and Denise Miller Jonas who are the parents of the music group The Jonas Brothers. By the way, I know potatoes is misspelled, I did that on purpose as Mrs. Evans is my British Lit teacher and I just wanted to see if she would notice. :)

I got my senior pictures taken on my 19th birthday at The Foundry Hotel in Asheville, NC by Andrea Coon. Here's some video snap shots that mom took of just some of the places the photo shoot took place in this unique hotel that has the motto that goes along with my school's theme (for their first graduating class of the school) which is based on Philippians 1:6 "And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." (NLT) #goodwork #handcrafted #hardearned Special thanks to Andrea Coon, Jeffrey Cox and The Foundry Hotel for making a special day for me even more special. Stay tuned for a full hotel tour of this brand new hotel located in the historic buildings of the old steel factory that provided steel for the Biltmore Estate and other prominent buildings in Asheville, NC. The heart of the original 1915 elevator which is one of backdrops we used for my senior photos is on display at The Foundry. I love how they incorporate the old with new through out the hotel.

Holiday Inn Express in Greensboro NC Airport Location
Another one of our stops on our recent trip up to Greensboro last month. This is the hotel that I filmed at once before with Trevor (BCElevators) back in 2013 so this is basically a retake video.

One of the Best Elevator Cab Modernization at Hampton Inn & Suites
This is at Hampton Inn & Suites in Southpark Area of Charlotte NC. This is the same Hampton that I toured with Cannycart back 2011 and a hotel tour with the GM Marcel Hebert in 2012. The hotel has undergone some renovations and when our dryer gave out this past week and couldn't be fixed until the parts came in this coming week Mom came up with idea of making a reservation here so she could get the week's laundry done and I could see the renovations which has been something I have been wanting to do but haven't been able to fit in my schedule yet so we stayed here this past Friday night and did a full hotel tour. I'm told the lobby area is fixing to undergo some renovations next. Overall, very impressive hotel improvements made it even more impressive and classy. Special thanks to Marcel for room location which was right next to laundry room, that was a real blessing! Below are the links to videos mentioned above

Home2 Suites In Duncan, SC
This is the first Home2 Suites for Daly Seven Hotels. We stopped by this hotel on our way to Memphis over Christmas Break. The first elevator cab's floor indicator kept messing up, I think there must of been a circuit loose. The 2nd elevator cab had the floor indicator working normally. Overall a very nice addition to the Daly Seven Hotels family.

A Sometimes You Know God Just Winked At You Moment
We have had many God winks in our lives and we just had one happened this week when we were in Greensboro, NC. After a great visit with Daly Seven Hotels and exploring some of their hotels in town, we decided to grab some lunch before heading back home. Dad picked a place called Darryl's Wood Fire Grill and the host took us upstairs and stopped at the elevator cab booth. Amazing how God will wink at you sometimes when you're least suspecting it, just to let you know He cares about the little things as well as the big things in your life. :) Hope you enjoy this little video clip. BTW I do recommend Darryl's Wood Fire Grill, the service and the food were top notch, not to mention the decor. :) You can check out photos we took here on my Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/pg/tjelevato...2019-01-25 05:01:16

Let's Take A Look At A Dover Hydraulic Elevator Tank
Thanks to JP, Adele, Charisse along with Robert & little Bart for making this a great visit to Holiday Inn Express in Greensboro, NC on I-40 Wendover Ave Exit. JimLiElevators has filmed here before on his trip to NC several years ago. Stay tuned for a full hotel tour but for now enjoy this little segment where I had the opportunity to go inside the elevator machine room and see the Dover blue elevator tank that houses most of the components that makes this type of elevator work. We then take a ride on the Dover Impulse elevator. For the ones who are interested in the technical side of how everything works, here is several great resource links that I have found useful to understand the world of hydraulic elevators :)

Dyess Arkansas' Only Elevator? Johnny Cash Boyhood Home Museum
This is a really neat elevator and it might be the only elevator in Dyess, AR. I forgot to ask while there so I am not sure if there is anymore elevators but judging from the size of the town, I'm thinking it might be the only elevator in town. Johnny Cash was born in Kinsland, AR but his family moved to Dyess when he was around 3 years old. His boyhood home has been restored and looks as closely as it possibly can when Johnny was living there through out his childhood. The administrative building of Dyess Colony houses the museum that recollects Dyess' history along with a section dedicated to Johnny Cash and his family and career. For more information about this historic place, go to https://dyesscash.astate.edu/ for photos we took here and out at the boyhood home of Johnny Cash go to my FB photo album at this link https://www.facebook.com/pg/tjelevato...

Close Up View of ThyssenKrupp Sky High Elevators with Counterweight
Here is a close up view of the neat elevators at the Memphis Pyramid with a very nice close up view of the counterweights plus elevator coming back down. The Memphis Pyramid is home to America's Tallest Free Standing Elevators. The brand of elevator is ThyssenKrupp and they go up 28 stories which is about 300 feet tall! When you get to the top there is a restaurant that you can eat at and an observation deck that you can walk out on which gives a great view of the city of Memphis and the second largest river in the U.S., the mighty Mississippi River. To see a round trip on these elevators including a skyline view of Memphis, click on this link to see my video of that

Sneak Peek of The Guest House at Graceland in Memphis, TN
Our recent trip to Memphis was part Christmas gift and also part Congratulations gift for me for doing so well in the dual enrollment program for college & career for my senior year of high school. I took a college level math course to earn my high school math credit plus first year of college credit. The math class ended on December 7 and happily I finished strong with a A in the course and to celebrate I picked something on my bucket list which was for our family to go to Memphis and see Graceland all decked out for Christmas. We stayed at The Guest House at Graceland which is just right down the street from Graceland. This is just a sneak peek video of the hotel. I will be uploading a full in depth video tour which will include our suite soon to my YT Channel but for now enjoy this sneak peek of some of the photos we took at the hotel and a tour of the room that my grandfather stayed in which was a King with Courtyard View room. Please note the elevator video will be included in the full video tour so it is not in this sneak peek video.2019-01-02 02:48:30

One of our stops on the way to Memphis, TN. I remember when Eric filmed these for me so now I thought I would dedicate this video of our version of these Dover Elevators to him. They look pretty much the same except the elevator banners were gone.2018-12-30 02:48:28

A Hampton Inn Trivia Video - First Hampton Inn's Original Location
In this video, we take a look at the original location which is in Memphis, Tennessee of the very first Hampton Inn hotel. It opened in 1984 under the division of Holiday Inn Brand. As you can tell in the video, the very 1st Hampton Inn was an outside door corridor property. It doesn't look like there is an elevator for this particular property. Hilton purchased the brand in 1999.2018-12-28 02:48:27

Road to Johnny Cash's Boyhood Home in Dyess, AR
This place was on my grandfather's bucket list so when we went to Memphis this past week, we took a side trip to Dyess, AR and toured the boyhood home of Johnny Cash. We had a private tour which was kind of neat and our tour guide was very informative. I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Johnny Cash and also any history buffs as well as you learn the history of Dyess, AR.2018-12-25 02:48:25

Big Cypress Lodge at the Pyramid in Memphis Tennessee
As part of our family's Christmas celebration this year, we took a road trip up to Memphis Tennessee to see Graceland at Christmas and stay at the Guesthouse. The pyramid was on my bucket list to see and ride the 28 story elevators that goes to the overlook near the top. My grandfather's bucket list item was to see the boyhood home of Johnny Cash which is nearby in Dyess AR which we got to ride a neat elevator in the administrative building there so stay tuned for the videos on those elevators coming soon to my YT Channel. While we were at the Pyramid, we got a chance to explore this unique hotel so enjoy this video of the hotel inside the Memphis landmark.2018-12-24 02:48:24

Dollywood's Glacier Ridge Christmas Tree Light Show 2018
I took the original audio off as it has music that would get copy right strike against. You can put your own Christmas music on to listen to while you watch this or you can listen to the sleigh bells that I replaced the original audio with. Hope ya'll enjoy the video. The light show is a pretty one and if you get the chance to see it in person, it is worth going to see.2018-12-18 02:48:23

Merry Christmas From Andrea Coon
Here's a video clip that Andrea Coon sent me from the hotel she is at in New Orleans, LA. She gave me permission to share it with ya'll here on YouTube. This is the beautiful Hotel Monteleone and Andrea gives us a look around the lobby and takes a ride for us on the Otis Elevators. I think she did a fantastic job filming this video.
Thanks Andrea for being the sweet person you are! Have fun and safe travels. Merry Christmas!

TJElevatorfan's YouTube Channel 9th Anniversary Celebration
That's right, it's hard to believe that it was 9 years ago today that I started my YT Channel. My first video was uploaded on November 30th 2009. Thank you to all my viewers and subscribers for coming along with me on this wild journey. It's been a blast and even though I don't have the time to devote to it like I used to, I still enjoy this hobby and will continue to upload videos when I can. My first video was from the Hotel Roanoke which is now in the Hilton family under the Curio brand (used to be a Doubletree) and to celebrate my 9th anniversary on YT, we are going to highlight one of the newly renovated Hampton Inns that has always held a special place in my heart because I have so many great memories associated with this particular Hampton Inn that's located in Cornelius, NC.(Hampton Inn Charlotte Lake Norman) I got to spend some time working and visiting with this great Hampton team over my Thanksgiving break which was a lot of fun! I hope you all enjoy the video and a very special thank you to Alicia Fisher for taking the time to take us on a tour and for helping me with my high school senior project which I will have more details on that at a later date so stay tuned.... For photos taken through out the years at this very special Hampton Inn including this past week, check out my FB photo album at https://www.facebook.com/pg/tjelevato...2018-11-30 01:32:50

Hotel Tour Of Marriott Center City Uptown Charlotte NC
Wells Fargo, where my dad works at, threw a big dinner event for their employees celebrating 25 years with the company which included an overnight stay at the Marriott Center City in our hometown of Charlotte NC so we got a "staycation" which was kind of neat. I ate in the room and did my schoolwork while mom and dad went to the dinner celebration for the evening. The hotel has undergone renovations since I filmed their elevators back in 2010. Very nice renovation from what I could tell. This was my first official stay at a Marriott hotel but I have stayed at various Courtyard by Marriott hotels before though.
Interesting notes that we didn't mention on the video:
* the room has no carpet but the floor stayed nice temperature even first thing in the morning
* The room is equipped with an Alexa device (another video demonstrating that will be forthcoming soon)

Franklin Graham at Billy Graham Library
Mom and dad went to the book signing event that Franklin Graham was holding at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte NC on Wednesday, November 7th which would have been Billy Graham's 100th birthday. As a celebration to remember and honor his father, Franklin was signing copies of the book he wrote about his father called Through My Father's Eyes. I would have like to have gone but I was actually home from school that day feeling under the weather. Mom did something neat when they got up to Franklin which meant a lot to me since I couldn't be there like I had planned to. Thanks mom for thinking of me and Franklin for who you are and what you stand for. You can check out photos from this event on my Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/pg/tjelevato...2018-11-09 03:28:16

11 Million Views Milestone Special: Hampton Inn at Berry Farms
Thank you to all my viewers and subscribers for 11 million views! I hope you enjoy this special upload which include fireworks and a full hotel tour of a very nice new Hampton Inn & Suites located in Franklin at Berry Farms. This is where we stayed on our Tennessee trip back in August which was mainly a birthday trip for my mom. Dad & I surprised her with tickets to see Rory Feek in concert at the barn concert hall where the Joey + Rory TV show was filmed at. This was a neat event especially since the concert was actually on my mom's birthday and we got a chance to meet Rory after the concert for a few minutes. :) This Hampton is a unique shape like one you would see in a downtown area and we enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Again, thanks for watching!2018-09-08 01:33:54

Loretta Lynn's Dude Ranch Plantation Home In Hurricane Mills Tennessee
I have had several requests for a video to Hurricane Mills if we ever were in the area ever since I had uploaded our visit to the original childhood home of Loretta Lynn which is located in Van Lear, Kentucky. Hurricane Mills is the town that Loretta Lynn owns I believe along with her plantation home, museum & gift shop plus the replica of her Butcher Holler home place that she had built in memory of her parents. While we were there, we ate lunch at the Loretta Lynn Kitchen which I have included photos from there in this video as well. Hope you all enjoy it.
