“Today, it’s hard to believe there was a need for elevator operators, but they weren’t always automated. I remember growing up in the ’50s, and when few buildings in our town had elevators, there was always an operator. A New York City operator strike in the ’40s led manufacturers to create the elevators we have today.”

#4 My paperboy drives a loud scooter. Can't use him as alarmclock though. Some days the paper comes at 6:30, some days at 10.
