[NFBMD] Regarding opportunities

[Ellana Crew]

Hi there,

I actually have several relatives in that area and have been to certain parts of it numerous times. In general it is just like any other suburban area, but I will say like David that the transit system is a bit lacking there. It exists though, so you certainly won't be stranded, and like David mentioned it is fairly easy to commute to Baltimore or DC via the rails, but the bus system is definitely not the best and could be better. Nothing else blindness-specific comes to mind though, but the so-so transit is good to note. Though, in the parts I have visited, it does seem to be a pretty sidewalk-heavy area, which is nice for a suburban neighborhood.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

I cannot speak for the jobs or establishments located there, but it is your standard American suburb. The local public transit for the community is sparse, but there is a regular rail service between Baltimore and DC which passes through Odenton.
