Medellin, Colombia: Massive Escalator Inaugurated.

12/26/11 07:35 PM ET Associated Press

BOGOTA, Colombia -- Officials in Colombia's second-largest city on Monday inaugurated a giant, outdoor escalator for residents of one of its poorest neighborhoods.

For generations, the 12,000 residents of Medellin's tough Comuna 13, which clings to the side of a steep hillside, have had to climb hundreds of large steps authorities say is the same as going up a 28-story building.

Now they can ride an escalator Medellin's mayor says is the first massive, outdoor public escalator for use by residents of a poor area.

"It turned out very well," said Mayor Alonso Salazar, adding that he has not heard of any such project elsewhere in this world.

Salazar said officials from Rio de Janeiro plan to visit Medellin to see if such an escalator would work in that city's favelas, which also cling precariously to hillsides.

Comuna 13 residents came out to celebrate and study the $6.7 million escalator which officials say will shorten the 35-minute hike on foot up the hillside to six minutes. Use of the escalator is free.

"This is a dream come true," homemaker Olga Holguin told RCN television.

Cesar Hernandez, head of projects for Medellin, said the electric stairway is divided into six sections and has a length of 384 meters (1,260 feet). An escalator goes up and a second goes down. Authorities plan to build a covering for inclement whether.

Salazar described Comuna 13 as the city's district that has "suffered the greatest urban violence... but lately this has been receding and we hope this social package will help it move forward."

HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE. This country helps "ITZ" people.

1 - The jews have been given control of the banks
2 - The jews print money from thin air
3 - The jews in Izzy get billions of dollars from the U.S.

On the the other side "ITZ" people have given the goyim

1 - Multiculturalism
2 - MTV
3 - Divershity
4 - Pornography
5 - The inability to say anything about it for fear of being labeled an anti-shitmite
6 - Also they delivered us the negro

Having spent time in Colombia over the last 10 years or so, I can say one thing with certainty, Bogota is a $hit hole, while Medellin is something much closer to a decent modern city. The people that governed Bogota ran it into the ground over the last 50 yrs. They have train tracks but no trains have run there for over 40 yrs. The politico's made money off private bus lines instead. And there is nothing in Bogota that resembles a modern highway. Meanwhile Medellin might have the cleanest mass transit system in the world. There is still a lot of poverty in Medellin, but Bogota is far worse.

A good friend of mine owns an apartment there.

Women in Medellin are BEAUTIFUL and kind. Again, one of those places and virtues where America just isn't stacking up anywhere close. Actually, this one I can assert from a personal experience.
