The Year: 1988Place:Terry Hall, Grandville, MI
Event: Roller Skating Party
Mission: get asked by some other boy classmate for "boy's choose free skate"
Memories: Sweaty Palms, concession stand with awesome candy, backward skate, classmate speed races, loud 80's music blaring, disco balls, and the hokey pokey. Can't you just smell it? They all seem to smell the same.
Tonight was the skating party for Dutton Christian and I felt transported. Apparently this roller skating hall has been the exact same for thirty years, so although it was a different rink than I went to as a child, it looked so similar. Maybe all of them look 70's disco themed.
Nostalgia...don't you love it?
