I worked in the financial district in downtown San Francisco. I arrived on a subway commuter train that disgorged close to a thousand people at the first station in town. The platform was standing room only until people made it up the escalators, 4 stories high to the street. About the time the last people shuffled on to the escalators, the next train would arrive and disgorge another thousand people. All the women wore expensive running shoes and had a pair of high heels tucked into the top of their large sholder bag purse, and they slipped into them when they reached their desks. My office was on the 23 floor and out the window almost exactly straight down was the entrance to the subway train station. So almost all of my commute after leaving the train was in the vertical direction.
I remember moving to Salt Lake in '94 and thinking that this was a "boutique city". When Fred Meyers opened a two story store on 4th south, I remeber for about a year the locals would come in and be amazed and frightened by the escalator. It was "charming".
