It sucks, but not everywhere you go is accessible for someone with a mobility aid such as a wheelchair. Here I will document a few places who are trying their best to make themselves more wheelchair-friendly. I may also mention some fails who haven’t done a great job (without shaming anyone). Not everything is perfect, but some people are doing their best with what is in the scope of possible. Remember, often businesses don’t own the building they are in and can only make so many accommodations. I’d like to say it’s the thought that counts, but that’s not good enough. Only awareness will create real change! I will also keep you up to date on what I and the committees I am on are doing to improve accessibility!

Almost every one of their historic buildings has a separate entrance with a ramp. And what about those with more…

Bridgeview Restaurant
Accessible, (and delicious) restaurant alert! I’m always game for going out to dinner as a treat, but unfortunately not all restaurants are accessible enough for me to eat there. Often we just have to make do. This was not the case at the Bridgeview Restaurant in Johnstown. Going in to the restaurant they have a…
