My OperaNew Convention Center Web Site

Theresa (DuBois) sent out one of her emails this am, bragging about the new CC web site. The editor can see why. It looks good, and helps the incoming conventioneers. But it is a work in progress.
There's the "Click here to view a listing of the Shaw neighborhood businesses." And it's just a listing, with addresses. It's certainly not a user friendly map for people who may not know what's north or west when they walk out of the CC on the first day. Nothing extra on what kind of food the restaurants serve, and so on. But that will come along.
The downloadable parking lot map lists the spot where the ground will be broken for the new CC hotel quite shortly.
And the editor has a concern about the parking for handicapped section:
parking placards/permits or license tags in the following locations:
North end of 7th Street between L and Mt Vernon Streets (3 metered spaces)
South end of 9th Steet between Mount Vernon Place and L Street (3 metered spaces)
South end of 9th Street between L Street and M Street (3 metered spaces)
South end of 9th Street between M Street and N Street (3 metered spaces)
The editor did a post on most of these places a while ago here. The upshot is that they don't seem to be "reserved for" handicapped but "accessible to". The above entry from the CC website seems to say exactly the opposite. We shall see.
