Add to the list of complaints: Have you noticed that at many hotels, the
ADA rooms are furthest from the elevators? And yes, you are lucky if they
have ADA rooms on the first floor. Also, the rooms often face the parking
lot and seldom the garden, pool or view? Is this discrimination? I feel
it is.
At some commercial stores or restaurants we have had to get Terry through
the kitchen or the back door to get to the bathroom. In one instance, we had
to go two buildings down! In passing, I mentioned this to a Civil
Rights attorney I know and he said, "lawsuit". We haven't pursued that, of
course. This friend has filed many suits against large hotel chains, music
festivals, etc., as they are hardly ADA compliant. He himself is disabled and
knows first hand the discrimination. I am not saying whatsoever that
every place discriminates, not by a long shot. But many business owners are
not very aware of the disadvantages that people in wheelchairs are faced with.
That's my tangent for the day. As a wife of a TM'er, if I have time
tomorrow, I will try to address the relationship issue.
