If traveling to Oqunquit, Maine this Fall to view the autumn foliage or next summer to visit the white sand beaches be sure not to be a crip, or at least do not attempt to cross the road.
Mr. M and I captured these pics earlier this week. The town moved this pedestrian crossing last year and still have not put in any form of curb cut to allow the mobility impaired a means to get onto the sidewalk. This leaves us crips stranded high and dry in one of the most dangerous intersections in southern Maine. What the hell were they thinking?! I have sent off a gimp protest email to the Town Manager (putting me on his s*list I am sure) and will keep you all updated as to any progress.
I like this picture in the lift side... the style they make is very atractive am cotton have quality..

**UPDATE**
The town manager just replied to my email:
"This curb cut has been ordered and hopefully will be completed soon. Thank
you for you email." Sooooo, it looks promissing. Just not sure what "soon" really means. This week? this month? this year?
If the town is anything like my doctors office's scheduling secretary, then "soon" means "when hell freezes over."
Will keep you all posted.
