-- good news on TV for the deaf
All TV sitcoms close after a number of years. This is the way
it is in the TV industry. The good news for us is that ABCFamily
has agreed to extend the run of "Switched at Birth" for another
year. This means the program will be 4 years old. This program
has won many awards.
-- We don't know of an active deaf taxi driver .....but
We don't know of any active deaf taxi drivers ... but we know of
one deaf Uber driver. It is Philip; his last name is not known,
but he has been an Uber driver for one month so far in the
Vancouver, Washington area. He said Uber gives him his choice
of work hours and that his customers are nice to him. Do keep
in mind, there are taxi cab-Uber wars in many cities and there
may be new laws that would put Uber drivers out of business.
-- More about the deaf restaurant in Toronto
The Signs Restaurant is making many newspaper stories for its
all-deaf staff. The owner Anjan Manikumar is not deaf. But
what led him to establishing that new restaurant? He was a
manager of a pizza eatery. One of his regular customers was
deaf. The manager got to know the deaf customer better and
liked him as a person. This led Anjan to the idea of an
all-deaf restaurant!
