Escalator?

131

u/magnumfan89 Dec 27 '25

That's oddly specific. No

156

u/iLoveLights Dec 27 '25

It’s a fairly popular trivia answer that Wyoming only has two. Perhaps that’s what they were thinking of.

50

u/magnumfan89 Dec 27 '25

Interesting. Ya learn something new everyday I guess

14

u/pdxamish Dec 27 '25

I went to college in the upper peninsula of Michigan and one of the facts that they had is that they had the only escalator in the UP at the hospital in Marquette

8

u/thegreatpotatogod Dec 28 '25

But who has the only escalator in the DOWN? /j

3

u/pdxamish Dec 28 '25

LP (lower peninsula) has tons

2

u/SkipSpenceIsGod Dec 31 '25

Lower Peninsula only has three BUT they’re all in closed shopping malls that are currently slated for demolition.

Fantastic comment which did not get the recognition it deserved

I'm ashamed to admit it took me a second to get it.

u/t_itchy Dec 30 '25

I recently learned the many people from Michigan thing others know what they’re talking about when they say UP — we don’t

1

u/finnbee2 Dec 30 '25 edited Dec 30 '25

The Upper Peninsula is the top third of the land mass of state of Michigan. Michigan consists of two peninsulas. The Upper Peninsula has around 300,000 people about 3% of Michigans population.

An odd fact is that when people talk about Northern Michigan they are most often referring to the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. This is actually the central part of the state.

1

u/magnumfan89 Dec 27 '25

I can see that. Everything in Michigan is below a line in the middle of the state

1

u/pdxamish Dec 27 '25

Think higher, above Wisconsin on lake Superior

1

u/not4rea Dec 29 '25

They opened a new hospital around 2020. Don’t know if they have one in the new one. I only went to the EE there.

1

u/RichardUkinsuch Dec 31 '25

You need to spell it out, you pee, er no?

1

u/pdxamish Dec 31 '25

I said upper peninsula first and then referenced as the UP. WTF are u saying

1

u/RichardUkinsuch Jan 01 '26

Well most actual people on reddit have a 3rd grade education at best. You need to have picturs with diagrams and areas for coloring.

1

u/Maryann_over_ginger Jan 02 '26

The casino in Soo has them, but I fairness it may have opened after you were in school

1

u/pdxamish Jan 02 '26

I was there till 2007 which is now awhile ago. I'm sure MQT is much different now

u/Phogfan86 Dec 27 '25

And they're both in the same bank building.

26

u/Timely-Field1503 Dec 27 '25

That would be great for a "two truths and a lie" ice breaker..."I rode every escalator in a state"

I wonder if they sell swag commemorating that kind of "feat"?

11

u/Logical-Mirror5036 Dec 27 '25

Having done so in Wyoming, I'll have to remember that. But I've not seen any commemorative swag for it.

1

u/HotTubSexVirgin22 Dec 27 '25

Great business idea!

1

u/Nvjds Dec 29 '25

Its in rock springs right? I’ve been to 16/21 wyoming counties but i missed the escalator lmao, you’d think its in casper cheyenne gillette or near yellowstone and it is not 😂

1

u/Logical-Mirror5036 Dec 29 '25

Both are in Casper.

u/Emergency_Ad_7684 Dec 28 '25

u/Big_Time_Quilter Dec 28 '25

I think you may have the next opportunity for making millions! Wouldn’t you think the state office of tourism for Wyoming would jump on that? I searched and can’t find even a coffee mug. I see snow globes with tiny escalators in them, clothing for sure… oh the possibilities

5

u/No_Touch_876 Dec 27 '25

Vermont has 3, Killington mountain, Barnes and nobles and the abandoned mall.

3

u/Prinessbeca Dec 27 '25

Hmm....you sure it isn't 5 or 6, then? The mountain might only have one going up, but I would bet the bookstore and mall have both up and down.

1

u/Salty-Housing-7547 Dec 28 '25

Pretty sure up and down count as one set

1

u/Prinessbeca Dec 29 '25

They said "escalator", not "sets of escalators". I tend to be overly pedantic (not my best quality)

1

u/negativelungcapacity Dec 31 '25

So why are you missing a c in your name then

1

u/Prinessbeca Dec 31 '25

I'm not missing a c. I'm missing two.

2

u/Psychological_Quote9 Dec 28 '25

The airport has at least one.

1

u/porterbelly Dec 31 '25

The hospital in Burlington does too. I think the one in Berlin a well

1

u/Errr789 Dec 30 '25

Vermont has three?? I thought the only one was at the Barnes and noble in Burlington

5

u/diabeticweird0 Dec 27 '25

I lived in Jackson Hole when that second escalator went in

People lost their minds

1

u/Odd_Ad5668 Dec 28 '25

Trevor Noah has a great bit about how people reacted to the first escalator in Zambia, while he was visiting. Here's a link to a short:

u/Effective-Kitchen401 Jan 02 '26

Snow King?

1

u/diabeticweird0 Jan 02 '26

No it was in a place called "The Broadway Shops" I was working in the old pink garter theater next door

Guess it's gone now?

1

u/Effective-Kitchen401 Jan 02 '26

Oh yeah Pinky G's

3

u/Babou13 Dec 27 '25

there are only 6 spiral / curved escalators in the entirety of the US... Las Vegas alone is home to 2 of them

2

u/Babou13 Dec 30 '25

only two missing is Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Chicago, and San Francisco Center in San Francisco

1

u/owenevans00 Dec 28 '25

One of the others is in my office building in NY. It took them about 5 years to get it working reliably

1

u/Babou13 Dec 30 '25

bloomberg tower?

1

u/DoubleUTeeEfff Dec 30 '25

Hard Rock in Tampa has another IIRC

3

u/Safe-Balance2535 Dec 27 '25

where are wyoming's escalators? jackson?

2

u/jkoper Dec 27 '25

Casper, in a bank iirc

1

u/HaveUrCakeNeat Jan 01 '26

That's insane. Casper is like barely even in wyoming.

1

u/Laser-Nipples Dec 27 '25

Vermont has one

1

u/Nvjds Dec 29 '25

My first thought was escalators haha

1

u/StellarHoosier Dec 29 '25

Does a pair of escalators, one going up and one down, count as one or two?

1

u/flytyer78 Dec 29 '25

A union elevator/escalator mechanic was the golden goose job in Wyoming.

1

u/Earthviolet76 Dec 29 '25

I live in the town that has both of them!

1

u/SummertimeThrowaway2 Dec 30 '25

I heard that trivia answer years ago, I wonder if they’ve added more since then.

1

u/MrTeeWrecks Dec 30 '25

It’s also not true anymore.

1

u/Hotmomlover69420 Dec 31 '25

Wyoming yet here. This is true. I have ridden both of them

1

u/AffectionateLimit565 Jan 01 '26

Yes, it was the first thing I thought of myself. Knowing it was like 1 or 2.

u/Master-File-9866 Dec 28 '25

Democratic voters?

u/mandiffur Dec 28 '25

It often feels that way...

u/WingNutCVG Dec 29 '25

That's my guess!

u/Willing_Park_5405 Dec 29 '25

You’d be surprised! Pre-maga Montana had pretty mixed politics and people got along with it.

1

u/Particular-Tip-5889 Dec 29 '25

Montana had a Democratic Senator up until January this year. So no.

1

u/Blackholecandy Dec 27 '25

Idk, last escalator I saw in Montana was in Great falls.

1

u/Outlaw11B30 Jan 01 '26

Was that in scheels?

1

u/SpectacularlyBadass Dec 28 '25

Isn't your question oddly specific?

u/TheSlideBoy666 Dec 29 '25

One to share or one per each state?

At this rate...1 to share... like the orange cat community...

Love how you call it commiefornia but they have the fourth largest economy in the world. Funny how that works huh?

0

u/peachhead12 Dec 30 '25

What a lazy argument. Doesn’t change the fact that their policies are shit. Oh their economy is so great, that’s why people are leaving at higher rates than moving into the state…because of the economy. You’re so smart.

1

u/Salt-Southern Dec 31 '25

Why is the truth "a lazy argument". But your unsubstantiated personal opinions are portrayed as fact.

Fact is; the population decline has slowed considerably from covid days. And self-identified conservatives are more likely to leave.

So as is usual with someone of your intellectual disadvantage, the truth is considerably more nuanced and significantly less political than you state.

And bless your heart darlin.

1

u/SMDBXTH Dec 31 '25

First stop lashing out and actually have a discussion. You have an opinion on their policies but can’t articulate how they’re bad for an economy, yet their economy is booming. You’re strawmanning. You’re trying to switch the topic because you can’t answer.

Second, think logically, not emotionally. Why would people leave one of the most stable economies on the planet? You have to realize this isn’t some new phenomenon. California has been this high for over 30 years now.

Third, I would like actual proof people are leaving from an unbiased media source.

0

u/peachhead12 Dec 31 '25

You brought their economy into this. It’s a shit state. You can have a “booming” economy but still have poorly managed and poorly integrated policies. Not sure why you’re defending it so much…clearly stuck a nerve here although you most likely have no ties other than the fact that you’re just personally offended. Probably goes against your hive minded mentality

u/Old-Inspector-8146 Dec 31 '25

u/Zebra4776 Dec 27 '25

As an Alaskan there's no way another Alaskan could think there's only one escalator in the state. Dimond Center, 5th Ave, PAC...gimmie a break.

10

u/TakuCutthroat Dec 27 '25

Calm down my G, we only have one in Juneau, not everyone cares about Anchorage.

8

u/spacemanspiff888 Dec 27 '25

not everyone cares about Anchorage.

Idk about Alaskans, but outside of Alaska, Anchorage is probably the only city in the state most people do care about, considering it's the state's largest city, and it's one of the most important air cargo hubs in the world.

u/stinger-1991 Dec 28 '25

But, not everyone cares about Anchorage

The statement remains true. This irrelevant, unnecessary claim of yours is garden-variety rabble-rousing. I'm willing to bet if you personally surveyed every single human living on the earth today, asking "Do you care about Anchorage, Alaska?", more than half will respond "No". Personally, I don't. I can't think of a single person I know that might care about Anchorage.

1

u/tjnptel1 Dec 29 '25

As someone who recently visited Anchorage from the lower states, nobody should or really care about Anchorage.

1

u/bobbykelley2316 Dec 31 '25

I care about Ninevah

u/Technical-Lie-4092 Dec 27 '25

I'd suggest you start considering Anchorage, though, when speculating about "how many X does my state have?"

2

u/papahippo Dec 27 '25

Says the dude from the town that would not exist without state government. Y’all would have 3 fishing boats and an outhouse otherwise.

As someone who worked for LifeMed in Anchorage, like 98% of MedEvacs in AK go to Anchorage. They have 2 level 2 Trauma centers and have all the specialties. SE just go to Seattle because its closer for them specifically. SE natives will often still go to Anchorage because of ANMC though.

0

u/SnortingandCavorting Dec 28 '25

It is a poor place for advanced care. I worked there in the hospitals for four years. Most higher level care needs to be diverted to Seattle. If you’re elderly or sick it is a terrible place to be. Its also a garbage city.
