[blindlaw] stores for the blind in the D.C. Metro area?

[AZNOR99 at aol.com]

The NFB Independence Market is open from 8-5 Mon-Fri for walk-ins as well  
as by appointment in certain circumstances.  In addition, you can purchase  
items from there via the internet by visiting _www.nfb.org_ 
(http://www.nfb.org)  or by phone by calling  410-659-9314.  My Agency has actually switched 
to the Independence Market  as our sole provider for Braille paper, 20/20 
pens, and many other items our  staff uses.  If you ask them to ship the 
item, it usually departs that same  day and arrives quickly.  My experience with 
other distributors such as the  Columbia Lighthouse and the Iowa Commission 
is that it takes about a week for  them to process the request and another 
week for it to arrive.
 
Good luck.

believe the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind may also have a store in the 
DC  area. There is also the NFB Independence Market in Baltimore, but am not 
sure  whether they have a store or are strictly mailorder.

in D.C./northern Virginia purchase your canes. Is  there a store for the 
blind that sells canes, braille paper, etc. for the  blind close by?
