Fox Theater, Detroit

Like the Detroit Opera House, this beautiful theater was built in the 1920's, and the pluses and minuses are the same. The main floor is completely handicapped accessible, with level floor between the outside sidewalk and the seats, but again there is a shortage of handicapped accessible bathrooms.  Let's do the math: the theater seats 5000, there are 2 accessible bathrooms, disabled make up 12% of the population, that makes 1 bathroom for every 300 disabled theatergoers.  No wonder I missed the beginning of the second act of the last show I saw there.
