Mobility With Attitude Report Logo

Welcome to the MWA Report...
THE guide for gettin your crip ass into the cool places in Chicago!

There are 2 general ratings for each venue as well as a more detailed report.
The rating system is: 1-5. 5 being the worst...as in if you go there be psyched for it being a difficult thing and REALLY NEED to see what is on the other end.

The ratings are:

 Accessibility IconHow accessible is it really?!

By this I mean are there stairs, steep ramps, inaccessible bathrooms, narrow doorways...are there parts of the venue that may be accessible and other parts that aren't? Also, when it isn't accessible, are there ways around it if you want to get there bad enough.


Problematic Staff/Patrons IconHow problematic are the staff/other patrons?!

This is really important too. If the staff has attitude about you trying to wheel around in their establishment...or use crutches, canes and the like...or if they are simply EXTREMELY unhelpful, or conversely if they are REALLY COOL.
Patrons can be as big of obstacles as seating, stairs, and other objects. If you are coming up a steep ramp that you are defying gravity to not tip over on and some schmuck is at the top being oblivious to you yelling "Outta the way!!!" or if they are rude about you trying to get around in other ways... but sometimes they are helpful too...

Input is welcome...as well as submissions for places to review or reviews of them. I am very aware that I am only reviewing for mobility accessibility at present. I will attempt to start reviewing for other accessibility issues in the not too distant future.
