MORE THAN 250,000 PEOPLE READ MY BLOG

FOR DISABILITY ADVOCACY, URBAN DESIGN, TRAVEL AND MORE

When I started this blog a decade ago, I figured I’d post a few times a month.

It would be a place to share some photos from the road.

A spot to publish parts of stories cut by editors.

It would be a forum to fight for wheelchair access.

It could be a format for circulating ideas on urban design, architecture and planning.

I never guessed it would have more than 250,000 unique readers.

Nor would I have thought I’d make more than 2,700 posts and counting.

I certainly didn’t expect to have readers from more than 100 nations – despite virtually every post being in English only.

I couldn’t have dreamed that the entire volume of text would equal more than the word count of three non-fiction full books.

Or that I would post so much street photography that it would lead to a gallery show.

The images here are from Islamic Cairo.

Some of the mosques, madrassas and markets date to medieval times.

I hope you can become a follower of my blog.

I hope you can share its stories demanding better quality of life and built environment for people with disabilities.

Here are some stories on Universal Design, Inclusive Mobility and the ADA:
