FAMOUS Otis Pop-Out Traction Elevator - Foundation Event Center (Bristol, TN)

If you guys know anything about Bristol, you probably know about this elevator!

These are some of the most iconic elevators in TN and one of the few remaining Otis Pop Outs in the US! The way these operate is pretty cool and all the buttons pushed in pop out once all floors pushed are served.

This elevator isn't perfect though, as I have two problems with it. One is that it is a slight bit jolty and that it takes a while to level. Another issue I have is that this thing is always on the move. I'm not so sure if it's programmed to park, but once you get off of it, it's gone. That makes getting bell samples hard.

Other than that, this is easily my favorite elevator in Bristol and I'm glad it's still here! Definitely a must check out for anyone!
