Good News for Handicap Movie goers
Well, today was a good day. I had been working on several projects, one being more room for wheelchairs and scooters in the theaters. I got the letter saying my request had been considered and board approved, more room is now available in each of the twelve cinemas, isn't that a blast. I always say ask, the worse that can happen is, the answer being no. Then you reapply or appeal their decision. We already had the large bathrooms and necessary parking spaces, a little far from the entrance, but available.
So, I had free family passes for up coming movies, good anytime, I went to see "Inside Man". The last paragraph of the letter said, "all seniors 55 and up welcome to all showings for 5.00 per person". I just may be a regular movie goer for a while. It beats waiting for the movie to come out on DVD months later for about 19.00 or a pirate copy sooner for more money around here.
I feel the return of the wounded soldiers, men and women, has a lot to do with decisions concerning handicap facilities in this town and nearby towns. The big car dealerships have golf carts to ride in while shopping for a car with refreshments, burgers and hotdogs. How is that for service, don't be fooled, they want the soldier's money. What better way, than thru his stomach, it still works here. Did I mention a big RV dealership just opened with many TV ads saying just bring in your w2 and ride out, you deserve a vacation now, welcome home. Around the corner, the gas is 2.50 a gallon.
Their signs say "we support our soldiers," sure, with the soldiers money. Not too many things are cheap here, maybe the houses, there is a million of them and the stats indicate this city is number 3 in the nation with lowest housing prices. Ft Hood is the largest military base in the world now. Then George Bush has his ranch about 50 miles up the interstate in Crawford.
