Pump It Up!

A colleague who uses a wheel chair introduced me to The Pump Guide recently. It's an extremely cool website from Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America. The Pump Guide lists over 800 gas stations across the state that provide full-service to drivers who display a license plate or window placard that identifies them as a person with a disability (see the Americans with Disabilities Act). Sounds pretty neat, huh?

Here's something that's not so neat; only one gas station in Missaukee county is listed on the site, the B.S. Lounge in Falmouth. That's pretty pathetic. Lake City, your gas stations are lacking, even that brand new shiny Wesco. Every single station on M-55 & M-66 through Missaukee county should be on this list. Let me explain...the one sure thing we have here in Missaukee is a lot of visitors and passers-through, we should do everything in our power to ensure that everyone who passes through our fair county feels welcome and wants to come back again (and spend their money).

Station owners, sign up here!
