This is at a parking garage in Downtown Grand Rapids, MI with the "Impulse" buttons. "Fingerhut" is a reference to a mail- and online-order catalog. I wish that there were Fingerhut stores in real life.
This is at another parking garage also in Grand Rapids. It is believed to date from the mid 1980s. "Fingerhut" is a reference to a mail- and online-order catalog. I wish that there were Fingerhut stores in real life.
This one is one of the few that has a KEYLESS emergency stop switch. At first, it buzzed for floor changes, but now it beeps instead. I got a shot of the AED because I also like AEDs.
This is the intro to Operation: NAUGHTY that premiered on December 6, 2005. The "SMELLMET" is (literally) a gas mask, or a respirator, KND style. The darts emit a pink-dyed gas that apparently induces sleep.
All of these pictures were either taken with my Nikon COOLPIX L3 or derived from the Internet. The music is Wild Boys by Duran Duran. Made with iMovie for Mac OS X.
And just as you know, I drew those characters at the end on my own. You like?

This one is at the SpringHill Suites in my hometown. Also, this is the EXACT SAME ONE @ the Goldenrod City Department Store in Pokémon Gold, Silver & Crystal.
I was on vacation with my family. That's why I was here. WTP's most notorious for a place of "pilgrimage" for many Kids Next Door operatives on the planet.
I'm also a fan of these new ones. This one's at the Comfort Suites in Comstock Park, MI. Sorry that I tried the "longshot" at the end. I had no idea that it'd mess it up.
