These are the less-than-spectacular Otis Traction Elevators, inside  what is now the People's United Bank Building (120 Front Street, formerly the Flagship Bank Building), Worcester, Massachusetts.
 The original intent here was to get to the Bank of America Highrise, to revisit the 20-story Otii there. Going by the signs, I thought I made it. More on that later.
The route taken bypasses the Security Desk on the main floor, so there wasn't an issue there. The route itself starts at the "Catacombs" Mall Entrance in the far corner of the Red Garage (Level 2, in this case), which runs underneath the mall itself, branches off to the Freight Elevator I recoded (avalable for viewing), and on the other side, to a dead "Workout World" (where "Jordan Marsh" was, in the Galleria Days), and a couple newer, and dead Montgomery/KONE Elevators were. Those took the spot where the original bank of 6 Otii resided, until the spaces were divided above. Other passageways were closed off, with "No Trespassing" signs, so nothing more that way.
 Back to the intersection, going straight, leads to a jog, where the Mall Offices and Security was (I believe), to a set of three doors. Left was a Fire Exit, and the right went to more freighters, but adorned "No Trespassing" signs, so we go straight, into the Flagship Bank Building, but at the time, thought I was in the Bank of America one instead.
 These are not as well-running as the office tower ones were, as I thought I found the lowrise elevators for it. After I was done, and left the building through the front door, with Security wondering how I got by them (LOL!!), I realized I missed the office tower, and got the 8-story Flagship Bank Building, which I wanted to get later, but got in this recording instead.
  So, during the whole shoot, I wasn't where I thought I was. Go figure.
On the final destination, I hid the camera for a reason, which has two words:
ALLIED-BARTON
