Blind woman was asked to leave Downey restaurant with animal. 
By Debbie Pfeiffer Trunnell 
DOWNEY - Anita van der Linden had only been seated for a few minutes at 
Frisco's Carhop Drive-in in Downey, with her guide dog Vesper curled up under the 
table, when a waitress approached her and told her she needed to move outside 
to the patio. 
When van der Linden, who is blind and partially deaf, complained, the 
waitress called the manager, who told her no dogs are allowed in the restaurant. 
After the manager talked to a police officer who happened to be on the 
premises, van der Linden was allowed to stay. But she didn't get her order for at 
least an hour, she said.
