I also don't get why the handicapped stalls are almost always at the far end of the restroom. Wouldn't it make more sense to have them near the door?

I was actually less frustrated in the South as people tended to see me in the wheelchair whereas here in So Cal, I truly felt invisible!<br /><br />Shopping was the biggest challenge... Clothes racks are made for the standing and not for wheelchair access.

When my MOM was helping with the design of our new church facility be assured that every consideration for people not only in wheelchairs but for walkers and crunches and motorized wheelchairs. The whole layout is accessible. AND the woman's bathroom is the first down the hall.<br />Blessings,<br />GooseGOOSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704121178870278185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36879565.post-23239401525906823222013-03-22T17:09:16.413-07:002013-03-22T17:09:16.413-07:00Mom says she understands.

Then many years later, trying to get in and out of doors and around stairs with a triple stroller when the twins and the other grandbiped were all babies - now that was not a lot of fun either.<br /><br />Great post.<br /><br />Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/07539957828544908415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36879565.post-24492344744399790162013-03-22T16:30:35.874-07:002013-03-22T16:30:35.874-07:00This was a great post.

I'm guessing that urban Southern California would be better than the South, but not as good as the urban Northwest or the Bay Area.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.com
