LANDMARK CALIF. BURGER JOINT FORCED TO SHUT DOWN OVER ADA LAWSUIT

A decades-old Sacramento, Calif. burger joint is shutting its doors for being out of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act because the owner says he can’t afford to bring it up to code.
Ford’s Real Hamburgers has been slinging burgers, fries and shakes for years, but was hit hard in the recession. Now, KTXL-TV is reporting   that a local attorney who makes his living filing ADA cases — many on his own behalf — is suing the restaurant — and Ford‘s can’t keep up.
“We scrimped and saved and cut down the staff. I’m down to six employees,” owner Hank Vereschzagin told KTXL.

ADA has been inforce since Bush 1, please don't use the present economy as an excuse. What were they doing with the money all those years?

I can see the droves of wheelchair bound people rolling down the streets, eager to get their burger and fries at the only burger joint in the state. It is not easy being handicapped, but the whole world should not be forced to change in order to revolve around YOU. Anymore than it should be changed to revolve around ME. More poeple are now unemployed. Thanks. Another small business gone.
