[Nfbk] some question

[Nickie Pearl]

Hi Kathy!
    Blind people reside in all corners of Louisville, depending on their living/family situation. Louisville does have a good transit system & reaches to surrounding counties. The Paratransit system though, has restrictions, such as, limited to drop offs/pick ups no more than 3/4 mile of a fixed route bus in Louisville (Jefferson County) If moving to Louisville is an option for you, you’ll just have to research an area to see if it fits your lifestyle & needs.  I’d be more than happy to help you with that, if/when the time comes.
Other popular places in Ky that appeal to you are,  Lexington, Frankfort, Ashland.  Although these cities are great & offer a great deal, you will find Louisville offers more in the way of transit, employment, entertainment etc. With that being said, Louisville will be a higher cost of living.  
Each of these cities have a NFB chapter too.

Thanks!
Nickie

Subject: [Nfbk] some question

Good morning all,

 

I wanted to find out what part of Louisville or surrounding  cities that blind people are living, I am new with all of this, currently living with my sister way way out in the country, wanting to be more independent and have friends but not sure where to start. I also have a very small poodle so I am looking for somewhere that allows pets too, my husband passed away last year so my life is up and down and looking to move forward, my little poodle is not a guide dog but can not get rid of him, but want to learn how to be more independent  with using my cane. Any help or guidance is appreciated .

 

Kathy
