One of the main medical buildings in the city has "handicapped accessible"
restrooms only on the first two floors. I went down to the first floor,
inside the restroom, and there's an el-shaped cubicle for "handicapped." No
way could I figure out how to get the wheelchair in, turned and approaching
the stool so I could transfer. If the wheelchair were in frontwards, the
door wouldn't close behind me. Then turn it. Hah! I don't know to whom to
report it, but I'll be going over the links sent out this morning by Laurie
to see what the possibilities are. Margaret Lauterbach
