Random Fact of the Day

My home province, Prince Edward Island, Canada only has 1 escalator. It's in the Charlottetown Court Mall and goes up one flight of stairs, so really, it's a bit unnecessary. There is a rumour that there may be a second escalator in Summerside, but as far as I know, this has yet to be confirmed.

I feel like someone should take a picture of our province's only escalator and promote it as a tourist attraction. JenMac, what do you think?

Intriguing, there should definitely be a sign at the bottom of the escalator promoting it's endangered species status.

It's to say if people would come to see it though, for they have likely seen escalators in the past... perhaps even more than one set in their own province?

Hmmm, you're right to say that people might not come from far and wide to visit said escalator, however, they would probably get a giggle out of the sign . . . and probably get their picture taken with it too! Although, it wouldn't help reduce PEI's hick status :-(
