Snow Days Chicago
Artists brought their talents to Chicago this year to turn a block of snow into something that I wish I had the ability to do. Access was poor, even though it was right at Balbo and Michigan. You had to utilize the most expensive parking facilities in the nation in order to see this exibit. There were NO provisions whatsoever for handicapped parking near the event which really leads one to wonder what the city could do in that area if the Olympics were brought here in 2016.
As someone with a severe leg injury, having to walk blocks to get to this event was almost not worth it.
We then went to Museum campus to take a few shots of downtown from near the Adler Planetarium and after pulling over for about 60 seconds, had a squad car behind me honking his horn for me to move parking lot several hundred yards away. I didn't bother because to park a block away, and walk with camera back and tripod was a too limiting for me. No pictures of the skyline this weekend for me.
I think this is something the City of Chicago needs to address, and soon. Yeah, handicapped people are a minority of the visitors in Chicago but to just lock them out and put them in the same category with everyone else, is wrong.
