  • (February 2024) What started from in instagram post turned into a new friendship, experiencing some amazing food, and of course riding a very rare manual hydraulic elevator. If you are ever in Roanoke, make sure you stop by for their amazing cake! PLEASE NOTE! This is NOT a public elevator so if you do come here, please don't bother the staff about it, however you DEFINITELY should ask them for some Death by Chocolate cake! This is also the elevator that is featured in my intro and outro for the foreseeable future.

      The chocolate cake did look really good! I'm actually more of a carrot cake person and I will not bug them for their elevator but I would like to meet the people who work there. The building definetly does look more retro.

    That was so sweet of that lady to let you check out there elevator that shows we need more people like her in this world. I love sweets that are gluten-free, dairy free, and vegan as well. I’m on a diet myself and I feel astonished when I eat healthier and that they have healthy options. Everyone loves loves you Andrew and I’m so glad that we have people like her to understand you. Evys restaurant is a amazing name of the restaurant as it describes my name a little bit. I also love love the lights especially the chandelier and that bakery products are starting to become a healthier option. Evys restaurant very curious when it became existed. Evys a sweet name and astonishing name too

    What a unique elevator. I didn't realize Century (the brand that made the motor) made other motors that weren't in their ceiling fans back in the 1910's, guess you learn something new every day

    The cake actually looked like it was freshly made, not processed at all. I typically like a good carrot cake but I also do like chocolate cake and this one did like really good. If I do every visit Roanoke, I will stop by Evie's to definetly have a slice of cake in addition to wanting to see the Market Parking Garage.

    Dear DieselDucy,
    I hope this message finds you well. My name is Lucas, and I'm a long-time viewer from the United Kingdom, having followed your videos since 2016. Your content has been a source of inspiration and fascination for me.
    I've developed a deep fondness for the lift transporter buttons featured in your videos, particularly because they remind me of the ones in my grandmother's building. They hold a special place in my heart.
    I have a humble request. I would be immensely grateful if I could acquire the lift transporter call station and panel from your museum collection. It would mean the world to me to have these cherished items in my possession.
    Thank you for considering my request. Your generosity would truly make a significant difference in my life.
    P.S My birthday is coming up soon!
    Yours sincerly,
    Lucas
