OK, so I've really taken to heart handicapped accessibility issues recently due to the fact that I now have to push a coach around everywhere I go.
This last weekend I had the opportunity to stay in Arlington, VA in the Crystal City section. I didn't run across anyone in wheelchairs because they must know better than to go here. Handicap ramps at intersections were rare, the Metro utilizes escalators to get downstairs, with elevators at select stops, and the underground concourse thingie had steps up or down every 100 yards with no ramps.
An absolute nightmare for me to get around with the coach, I couldn't imagine what its like in a wheelchair.
