I just want to go out for a nice meal

[trouble]

My friend is going to write up a full post at some point, but it's on my mind right now.

My friend was calling around various restaurants in Halifax to find out which ones say they're accessible. (How this differs from reality will become clear shortly.)

"The tables on our second floor are set up for wheelchair height. No, we don't have an elevator, why do you ask?"

"It's accessible once you get inside!"

*sigh*

Those were the most failful responces, so my post at my journal isn't much longer.
I expect we'll have more once we start actually going to the restaurants; the guy with the second floor tables had to be pinned down with a "Can you get anywhere without going up or down even one step?" before I could get a useful answer out of him. Who knows how many other ones were just thinking of their washroom facilities.

Though props to Little Fish, who told me that they were technicaly accessable, but they were also cramped for space so they weren't really functionally accessable, especially when busy.

Hopefully the weather will be good enough on Friday that it won't be irritating to go hunting for a place that both serves good beer and is accessible. Are you working Friday?

Either 12-8 or 7-3 (can't remember). Judging by today beer would be good (hello week). For pubs on the List there's Fife and Drum, Peddlers, and Rogues (though the Bank), though it might be best to scount locations before hand, since they're all over the city.

Don mentioned you were hermitting today. *hug* We will make beer plans for whenever we can make them, and they will be awesome. <3

Wheelchair height?

[roserodent]

FFS what is "wheelchair height" when it's at home anyway? Assuming we all got put in through the window by Superman or something, I use a big powerchair with tilt mech so I am higher than most users, and I have 2 manual wheelchair user pals, one is about 3 feet tall and the other 6 foot 6. Strangely, their wheelchairs are not the same height.
