Sunday March 17, 2013 Happy St. Patrick's Day! It was dreary today and made me think about my outing last Wednesday due to cabin fever after being in the house for over a week.
My First stop was Mid-River's Mall and I parked by my go-to location-JC Penney's. Why JCP? Well besides the fact I love their clothes and Sephora their doors are handicapped friendly. All I need to do is push the button and Viola! the doors open and me and my wheelchair enter. At Mid-Rivers it is the only big name store that does that, not Dillard's or Macys or even Sears. If I can't find a parking spot at JCP then I try to find one by a mall entrance. Oh and I always try to make time to eat at Max and Erma's there. Not only is the food amazing, but the staff is so nice and I don't even have to ask to have the chair moved.
My second stop was at Best Buy in the Mid-Rivers Mall complex located on the outer ring. Used my wheelchair in here also. I only needed to pick up toner so it was a quick in and out. While they do have stands with merchandise in the aisles I have never had any trouble getting around. Plus the new displays for the music and movies is convenient for me to reach.
The final stop was Wal-Mart and here I walked in and used one of their riding carts. They are easy to maneuver and only just a little wider than a regular cart. Aisle's are a good size space wise, but when you get in the clothes there can be problems. Also every once in awhile you may go down an aisle that has a post in the middle of it that a regular cart could fit around but the riding ones won't. Then I just back up or try to turn around.
Felt wonderful getting out and about. Have a few things planned for the future, but I'm going to let them be a surprise for now. Until next time keep your head up and moving forward to your world!
