[Nfbk] some question

[Nickie Pearl]

Kathy,
    I believe that is an option in O&M instruction. If that is the kind of 
training you need, than I think that chould be done.  I would pose that 
question to your consular.

In going to the Charles mcdowell center I have had cane training, but I need 
updated training and such, do you know if they work with you on teaching you 
how to ride the public transportation and such?

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

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
