🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️

-THE BITCOIN BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Macy's department store in New York City has one of the last functioning wooden escalators in the world having steadily trundled shoppers for as long as 95 years. I remember when I was 8, was fascinated, I need to visit again

This escalator was built sometime between 1920 and 1930 by the Otis Elevator Company and still retains its distinctive Art Deco design, having a

Steampunk/Dieselpunk feel. They're made of sturdy oak and ash, wood that's traditionally used in hardwood flooring, giving it a unique clacking sound unlike any other escalator.

The mechanical parts have, for the most part, been updated, and modern safety measures have been put in place.

A similar escalator is still functioning in Antwerp 🇧🇪 in the "Sint Anna tunnel" underneath the Scheldt 🌊.
