I was watching some documentary about arcade games and it got me thinking. When I was young rollerskating rinks were the place to be. They usually had an arcade area; and kids in the know would have a birthday party there. They played great music and it was a great place to pickup girls.
Whatever happened to this? Why did it go away? And dont say they still exist.. When is the last time someone built a new one of these?: roller rink, drive-in, bowling alley? Kids today are just so antisocial about everything. I don't even see venues like this existing in any way today.
Ours was called "Roller Palace" It was next to a drive-in (whole other topic right there) that went out of business in the late 70's. The whole area is a strip mall now... But the memories were good.
Do you guys have memories of these types of places?
