Subject: RE: BS: Handicap Accessibility
You know, a lot of the things needed to make a place "accessible" are good sense just for people in general.

Like the auto-opening doors I mentioned above. Chairs, yeah. But also people with their arms full, and as I said, mothers with strollers.

Why have tubs in so many motel rooms, anyway? I don't know of anyone who's taken a bath in a motel in years...and if you need one, ask for a room with one.

(As a side note, we're off to Alberta the end of July (meeting in Edmonton) and my wife and I are surprised at the HUGE number of lodgings listed as "2 story, no elevator."
