Re: [QUAD-L] Best Accessible Cities- New Mobility Magazine
I can't believe Seattle is even on that list. It's a great city, beautiful, on a clear day. But it does rain a lot. I moved from Seattle to the Phoenix area because I was always just too cold. I'd wear T-shirt, turtleneck, scarf, hat, and sit by the wood stove. now there are a lot of places a lot colder, but gray skies and sprinkling just make you feel cold to the bone. As far as wheelchair accessible the city is, the suburbs are, but a large part of the Seattle neighborhoods are filled with hills and pre-50s houses with lots of stairs just to get to the front door. The house I was in when I had my injury had like six or seven stairs just to get to the front door and every house I can think of in that area was the same. But most of the suburbs are pretty flat. But it is a city that has so many things you can do. Three months of the year it's just clear skies and some sort of a festival, food tasting thing like the bite of Seattle, Greek Festival, bumbershoot, every weekend. I don't know what their requirements are, but San Francisco, Boston, I think of hills and old buildings.

Don, then I'm surprised that Fon Du Lac is not on the list. Some of the best fish fries, if one is into fresh fish. Best Wishes In a message dated 10/9/2013 8:15:09 P.M.

The title of the article is actually: "Wheelchair Friendly Cities? … 7 Places Worth the Effort" The article is not a ranking or 'best of' list. Just a collection of stories from people who find their cities wheelchair 'friendly,' a very loosely defined term in this article. Cheers, Don.
