Target.com Targeted by the Blind |
 |
This month in San Francisco a federal district
court judge ruled that a lawsuit filed against
Target Corp. by the National Federation of the Blind
can move forward. The judge ruled that a retailer
can be sued if its website is inaccessible to the
blind.
Target asked the court to dismiss the case as no
law requires Target to make its website accessible.
Specifically, Target stated that federal civil
rights laws don’t apply to websites because websites
aren’t physical places of public accommodation and
asserted that applying California statutes to its
website would violate the Commerce Clause of the
U.S. Constitution because the website is accessible
to consumers nationwide.

Dave's Diner & Brews, An American Tradition
|
|
|
|
Remember those small town diners? You young’ens
might not recollect, but get a few years on you, and
ya know what I’m talking about. Fresh baked pies and
desserts, home made soups and chili, everything from
burgers, sandwiches, and meatloaf, and waitresses
calling you “dear” or “hon”. This slice of Americana
is what is waiting for you at Dave’s Diner & Brews.
This home-town diner is decorated following a
Route 66 theme with license plates on the wall, a
Red’57 Chevy out front, and the traditional diner
counter to sit at. The friendly wait staff become
instant friends and will actually listen to your
answer when they ask “How are you?” Come twice, and
you become a regular and they’ll ask you how your
mother’s surgery went.
Dave’s Diner and Brews is a place worthy of the
title, “An American Tradition”. Stop by and tell
them you read about them in Northwest GoldCoast.
