They are cool to look at, and pushbuttons were all the rage. The ones in Marina City would have been nearing the end of the run of those GE pushbutton controls, which showed up in the 50s. They have an oddly satisfying feel when you push them. They can also be very frustrating. I learned to cook on a range with those, and had two more later in life. You always need a temperature that is between two of the buttons. In a model like shown here (and one of mine, a cooktop with "remote" control panel that could be mounted anywhere near the cooktop - and they mounted mine in the blank drawer front just below the cooktop), it's easy to lean against the buttons while you're cooking. The super-great part of that is, partially pressed buttons cut all power to the burner...but leave on the red light supposedly indicating that the burner has power (an option on some models), until you fully depress "off." Nothing like coming back to your pan of brown rice 50 minutes later to find it cold and uncooked while the pilot light burns brightly. The ones with the buttons on the back of the stove, or up on the range hood, or on the wall, don't have that problem - but you still always need a temp between two of the buttons. You learn to stay by the stove and switch back and forth between the two buttons, and you learn to pace the switching based on what you're cooking and in what vessel. Frying two pans of chicken at once was an exercise in button-pushing. Long live the Jetsons!
I love your retro kitchen, don't change a thing! I saw another apartment where they knocked out part of the kitchen wall and added like a breakfast bar and opened some light between the kitchen and br. Just a thought if you ever decide to renovate. Good Luck! Love from Memphis!
I honestly like the old kitchens. They would be nice if somewhat modernized but with the original appliances like the stove. It looks really unique. Same for the bathroom. It just needs slight modernizing maybe more maybe none depending on the taste of the person living there. These apartments are really unique :p
I love this video! I lived on the 34th floor of the North Tower for 4 years while I completed my PhD in particle physics at Fermilab. Had to move back to the UK but miss it! Adored my flat, pretty much identical to this one only I still had the crazy mosaic tiling in the bathroom. NEVER use the cooker if you care about your hair or eyebrows. I hope Bin 36 (if I remember correctly) is still downstairs, and the brilliant house of blues!
Marina Towers has a reputation these days for being ungodly expensive and not that terribly comfortable to live in. Rent at Marina City runs you several thousand a month for an apartment, and the units themselves are unusually shaped and not that accommodating. However, the views are amazing, the balconies are spacious and the facilities like gyms and pools are great, so it does have its high points.

The video was cool for sure but the dude was a huge snob… like it’s a super awesome historic building he’s just complaining about his shitty choices in furniture rather than appreciating how awesome that lifestyle of living there would be 😔
How many of you were actually mad (as I was) that he didn't show the couple who was having sex ? I'm like, wait dude !! Don't pan so fast, lemme see them getting busy ! 😂😆😅😁😀

The kitchen range is a real keeper....do not ever replace that stove. That is a relic. So cool.

Thanks for the video, I never thought about what apartments are inside these buildings
I’m 16 and I’m thinking about living here when I’m an adult
Thank you! Informative and not too shaky))

Excellent tour

Nice apartment fun commentary!!
How many of you were actually mad (as I was) that he didn't show the couple who was having sex ? I'm like, wait dude !! Don't pan so fast, lemme see them getting busy ! 😂😆😅😁😀
I paused to see if he accidently got it in the footage lmao
bro you would be good voiceover for the next Saw film addition
Beautiful Architecture but rent must be $80,000 a month
4:00 lol. how often does that happen
I wanted to see what the neighbors were doing in the balcony.. i paused several times. 😂💦
If it's not too personal of a question, how much is rent in that building?
I've always wondered.
@@andrewholland5004 I’d gladly move in for $1,500/mo right now!
Cool
Are these apartments really haunted
obviously. Obviously. Obviously. Obviously
That toilet’s mouth is open.
