elevating thoughts

 

Very exciting. It looks like they are close to fixing the passenger elevator on my side of the building. It got waterlogged during the fire, and we have been using the freight elevator, which must be operator operated 24 hours a day. (One neighbor cracked, "First floor. Perfumery, stationary, and leather goods." She was hearkening back to the elevator operators at Sak's Fifth Avenue. Also here. It wasn't that long ago that we got unmanned elevators.) I didn't like the wait for the slow elevator this past week, but it was hella better than walking up 15 floors with groceries. 
  Thank goodness I don't live in one of these babies on Central Park South. They have had elevator trouble too, and 15 floors of stairs (well, minus the thirteenth) is a piece of cake compared with 98 above ground floors.
