This was my youth!

This was my youth! And I miss it so much!

What crazy things did you do as a kid?

  I miss rollerskating! The last rink near home closed a dozen years back after a massive flood. The damage was so severe they couldn’t afford to fix it. 😭

My dad owned and ran our local skating rink for a few years when I was in school. Good times. We were in the skating rink when no one else was there yet. The record hops on Friday nights were the best time!

  I miss rollerskating so, so much. There used to be three roller rinks within 45 minutes of my house growing up, but by the time I graduated high school, there was only one left and that one succumbed to a major flood a dozen years ago this summer. Friday and Saturday nights out skating with friends were the best time – I loved watching the jump contests, and I can’t hear Van Halen’s “Jump” without thinking of skating. 🙂
