[Cinci-nfb] Point that occurred to me about Dinner and a Movie Night on August 8

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi all,

I am not too familiar with the area, but I believe that there are two
restaurants nearby, but maybe not the easiest to walk to. You would have to
cross through busy parking lots, and maybe walk on streets without
sidewalks, and it's still a good distance. The restaurants that I know are
in that area are Steak & Shake and IHOP. 

Hope this helps.

Deanna

Hi Everyone,

I know that the Clovernook movie is a membership event and I apologize again
for responding to the incorrect email. Back to my question about August 8th
and Chris's concern about transportation for that evening. Are there any
restaurants within walking distance from the movie theatre in Oakley that we
can go to instead of having to be driven to one, to avoid the middle
transportation step?

Sorry Chris, I responded on the wrong email. What I meant was, is there a
restaurant within walking distance of the movie theatre to avoid the middle
transportation step?

Hi folks.

 

I have a question that's been nagging me about Dinner and a Movie on August
8. Since we'll be watching a movie at one location, having volunteers drive
us to a restaurant at another location, eating and going back home from the
restaurant, I think we need to look at how people are coordinating their
transportation going to the Theater and coming back home from the
restaurant. Basically, what we're planning involves traveling from Point A
to Point B to Point C and back to point A on our own.

 

I'm wondering if this is a lot to coordinate, especially with so many people
taking ACCESS, as we're counting on volunteers to drive us from the theater
to the restaurant, eating and arranging transportation home from the
restaurant--with that pesky 30 minute ACCESS pick up window involved.

 

I'm prepared to vote for having the dinner at the Oakley Pub and Grill as
they take reservations and their menu is inexpensive. However, I was doing
research on the transportation options in the area (as I like to do). If
anybody is planning on taking the regular fixed route home and we decide to
go with Oakley Pub and Grill for dinner, the closest intersection with a bus
stop looks like it could be a complex intersection involving two different
side streets crossing Madison Road. The side streets in question are
Markbreit (the street that runs perpendicular to Isabella where the
restaurant is), Madison Road and another street that crosses Madison at a
T-intersection opposite from where Isabella is. This isn't a deal breaker as
I think it's something any competent blind traveler needs to be considering
when planning transportation, but the travel options for Arthurs look a
little more straightforward than for Oakley Pub and Grill.

 

If Deborah or anyone else more familiar with travel in Oakley / Hyde Park
can chime in on this, that would be awesome. Dave: this also might be
something you could clue us in on when you visit both restaurants.

 

All the Best,

 

Chris.
