I find it humorous the number of times that people around Madison have made the statement “I’m surprised they don’t have a door assist” when helping me open a door to a restaurant or shop. \u00a0Of the 5 cafes I frequent\u00a0around\u00a0the Capital square, not a one has a door assist. \u00a0Not even the Starbucks, in spite of the large number of people going in and out each day. \u00a0 In fact, of all of the restaurants, diners and bars in the downtown area, there are really only less than 10 that have a door assist. \u00a0Several that are not wheelchair accessible at all.<\/p>\n
