Glass Dover Traction Elevator (Removed) - Gaviidae Common II - Minneapolis, MN

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Damn!! I was just in Gaviidae South a couple of weeks ago and noticed the 4th floor Skyway was closed to the public. I was rushing and didn't even have a second to investigate. The original Gaviidae (south bldg.) is also private offices now above the 2nd floor but the atrium is still intact. I guess it's been a couple years but I used to love the food court in Gaviidae North... and, of course, the elevator!! I did wonder why it seemed to be getting louder and louder each time I was there and nothing was ever done about it. I guess this was the plan for a while?

+Dana Danarosana This caught me off guard as well. I had walked over the skywalk late last year going to the north end of Gaviidae Common to ride this again and thought I got lost, as nothing looked the same. The atrium is gone above floor 2 as it was converted to office space. There is a new Otis traction serving floors G, 1, and 2. The elevators in Gaviidae South still let you go to the upper floors, which I didn't know were private access, though it's pretty obvious that there are no longer any stores there. I guess a lot has changed in this place!

What did the movement of the elevator feel like gravity? It went up and down super fast!

[@NorthlandElevators]

It was a very fast elevator!

Do you know the name of the song that was playing at the start of the video?

[@NorthlandElevators]
