Access isn't the whole story: The Bardstown Bristol furor

The Bristol Bar & Grille, at 1321 Bardstown Rd, has always been know for having a great accessible entrance, even back before it became mandatory. What the management did was slope the sidewalk up right at the entrance so it's a nice ramped grade. There's a rising grade inside, too. Easy to get into.

However, an accessible entrance is sometimes only part of the story.

A number of folks are backing Corey Nett who says management at the Bardstown Rd. Bristol asked him to move because his disability -- he has CP -- was disturbing other diners. Nett, a staffer in County Attorney Irv Maze's office, has filed a lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Cumberland's Gap

Every time I go past Cumberland Brews (1576 Bardstown Rd.) I wonder what happened to the lawsuit that I thought MetroSweep had filed against these folks. Never hear anything about it.

The place is inaccessible -- bunch o' steps at the front, and right on the sidewalk. But there's a nice walkthrough on the side of the building and a ramp could be put in there.

But years go by and nothing changes.

You gotta wonder what goes through management's heads about things like this. Don't they care?
