experience.</DIV>

<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I had an interesting experience yesterday at City Hall in
downtown Cincinnati. I was down there participating in our 25<SUP>th</SUP>
Anniversary ADA event and walk. Before the walk started, I went into City Hall
to use the bathroom. I have been inside there several times before. There was
a security officer by the front door, and I asked him if it was alright to use
the bathroom. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>He asked, “Is that a service dog?”<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Me, “Yes, he is a guide dog” and I pointed to his harness,
which has Guide Dogs for the Blind written all over it.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>He said, “I need to see his tags,” <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>What tags??? I have never been asked that before. I had the
feeling that he meant he wanted to see his ID. I don’t typically carry his GDB
ID card on me, since they legally can’t ask for that. So, the only tags I
could think of were his name tag, microchip tag, and GDB tag on his collar.
So, I showed him his collar with the tags. That seemed to satisfy him and we
went ahead and headed through the building. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I just found this whole experience as bizarre and
irritating. I mean, of all places, City Hall should know the service dog laws!
LOL <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Funny that this occurred just before the ADA celebration.
We still have a very long road ahead of us.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m wondering if I should call down to City Hall and speak
to the guard’s supervisor? <o:p></o:p></P>
