Craving Crave?

I want to tell you guys about one of my favorite restaurants that you will hopefully see in the documentary
when it's all done. This documentary is taking longer than I thought. Next time, I'm hiring a videographer cause although she tries, Rachel (Energizer Bunny) is not doing the trick.
Today, Rachel and I went out to film the documentary, and we took a break at Crave on West Broad near VCU. Crave is NOT an accessible restaurant, but they are very accommodating.

We got there the first time 6 months ago only to see a six inch step into the restaurant.
Unless my wheelchair has hovercraft, there is NO way I'm getting in there.
We do what we normally do when we go there. I tell Rachel what I want, and she
goes into the shop to get it for me.
I understand that not all places in the fan can be accessible,
but every single one should be accommodating.

After they found out I could not get into the building,
they brought me a table and chair, so that we could
sit outside and eat.
The owner even brought out a
five week old baby so that I could see her too.

This shows you that even though people who have
disabilities cannot always get into places, which would be ideal,
it does not always mean that they cannot access what they want or need.

Crave. West Broad Street near VCU. Try it sometime.



Update: I have a new aide update that I will post later.
He has four legs and weighs twenty pounds.
Emerson just tried to eat my aide's big mac and drink her soda while she
was doing my laundry.
He's now sitting in the recliner with his food dish beside him waiting
for her to come back and resume her position.
It's a tough life being a feline, but somebody's got to do it.


I'll post videos later. I think he's going to try to apply for any  vacancies.
