SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Cory Lee has visited over 50 countries and all seven continents, but he was surprised by something he saw in his home state of Georgia: a playground swing he could roll onto in his power wheelchair.
“I have really never seen that anywhere else that I've traveled to,” said Lee, who shares his experiences on his accessible travel blog Curb Free with Cory Lee. “I wish that when I was a kid, we could have had something like that.
