Handicap Parking

Since I have been "handicapped", I have realized a lot more about handicap parking. Sometimes it seems odd where the parking places are located in shopping centers. For instance, we went to eat lunch at Panera today. The only handicap parking spaces available for that end of the center were in front of the grocery store. But, what about the two restaurants on the end?! And, there were professional offices above another shopping center that only had the first space in some of the rows marked for handicap parking. At the orthopedic surgeon's office, there is only one space in front of each building which houses at least at least 9 offices in each building. I guess being in the situation has made me much more acutely aware of the parking available to those in need. It is also a reminder to be mindful about parking.
