Generally speaking, Minneapolis, and Minnesota, are fairly proactive when it comes to providing access for the disabled (and complying with the law). However, sometimes there are some real headshakers. My current favorite is Seven Corners Parking near the University of Minnesota law school. At the pedestrian exit there are a number of handicapped parking spaces, and a nice wheelchair ramp leading to the exit door. However, when you go through the door, there is no elevator--just a rather nasty stairwell. There is probably another way out that could be used by folks in wheelchairs, but, let's use some common sense, too. Watch this space for more local puzzles on the topic.

Hi Louise -
Since I never receive any response to my comments, I won't expect one. I'm just glad to know you are back. I'm hoping that we will connect later in August, after our trip to Ireland, Wales and England. I have a new job. It's great, but I have awfully painful arthritis...every day...it's the pits, as we used to say. I know you have had much worse than I, but I do envy the wheelchair (it's so awfully strange to say it, but it's true). Anyway, please respond somehow.
Love,
Bunny
