| - How fun to go back in time and spend an evening roller skating. Yup, the rink has some bumpy spots. Yup, the carpet has some gum stuck to it. Yup, the whole place could probably use some TLC. Yup, I still had a darn good time skating. And I gotta admit, after about two hours of skating I could feel all those old "moves" starting to come back to me. It's like riding a bike!
The rink wasn't overly crowded on a Saturday evening with plenty of room for kids and adults all enjoying the rink. The staff were friendly and fun to watch as some of them were really good skaters. Skating seemed to attract a more diverse crowd than other Madison events which I enjoyed being a part of. It's neat seeing something like roller skating bringing people together from different backgrounds and parts of the city.
Yup, you could probably find a fancier, bigger, flatter-floored rink out there. But this is what Madison has, it's affordable, it's fun, and boy people were enjoying it. (Myself included).
