Christmas Tree Hill in the Mansion — Local services in Springettsbury Township

Always a neat place to explore the many Christmas items for sale, and even to venture into their basement and upstairs areas. They're a little pricey on a number of things, but it's good to have a larger selection of Christmas items in one store (albeit the basement seems more sparsely stocked than what it was). Plus in recent years they've changed some of their stock and how they decorate some of their sections, which makes it a tiny less inviting the way it was years ago (not just here, but a few others of their satellite stores I occasionally visit, at least one of which closed a while back). Their upstairs is less inviting with seemingly lesser goods, plus when they put in those glass wall and doors at the top of the stairs several years ago it made it just seem more sterile and not as warm and homey the way it used to be. I'm sure some of the stock has to do with what they spend exorbitant amounts on some things and not selling very often (i.e., the pricey furniture, even though that does make for wonderful decorations and displays for some other items, and then there's those overpriced decorative purses and other frufru things they've been stocking in recent years, I'm sure makes it difficult to sell many of those things and seems to go against some of their decorative style that usually makes some sections more warm and inviting). But still a nice little place to visit once in a...

This business gets a ZERO for violating the Federal civil rights of physically handicapped people. Christmas Tree Hill does not provide an ADA (American's with Disabilities Act) compliant path of travel into their store for people in a wheelchair. There is an ADA non compliant ramp leading to a front porch that then requires a step up into the business, which of course can not be used by a person in a wheelchair. A sign is posted near the ramp informs wheelchair users to ask for assistance at the checkout counter, which of course is inside the store. HUH??? If your outside in a wheelchair needing assistance up the ramp and into the store, how do you get to the checkout counter that is inside??? There is also a small side door near the ramp that MIGHT have flooring this is more level than the main front entry door, but this side door stays locked and is not ADA handicapped compliant and accessible. And even if it was, it's usage would render again render physically handicapped people as second class citizens in the same manner as telling African Americans they are not allowed to use the front door of a business or they must sit at the back of a bus. Shame on you Christmas Tree Hill in the Mansion for excluding physically handicapped people from your business and violating their Federal...

Was unable to get into the building! My wife and I are both disabled she has a scooter that she uses we parked in the handicap spot and we made our way down through the parking lot away from the building to where the sidewalk would go from the parking area to join with the main sidewalk that led to the ramp. That section of sidewalk was all rippled up and broken up and we were unable to get my wife scooters through there without her dumping it and landing on the ground. The next available location to get to the main sidewalk was a good ways down. This was too far for her to negotiate that far and then to come back up to the ramp that led into the building. We decided that if we had to load everything up and relocate the vehicle we were just leaving, so that's what we did. The side part is they could have put a sign at the handicap parking in front of the building to notify us that we need to park at the other areas down in front of the complex to come into the building. As far as I'm concerned this was very inconsiderate of the management of this facility. If they don't want disabled people with wheelchairs and scooters to enter then they should just put a sign up that we're...
