Let's Go Roller Skating

Where did you keep the key? Favorite place to skate?

 

[Della]

We didn't have side walks or paved roads where I lived. Most of the roads were covered in cinders which ended up in our knees. I envied you city kids with your skates and hopscotch.

I remember I got my first pair when I was 6. Didn't wear Saddle Oxfords though, I wore tennis shoes. I would skate up and down the driveway. I kept the key on a long string that I wore around my neck.

yes I had a pair of those, but they were sooo heavy on my feet they weren't comfortable to skate...instead I went to the roller rink and the Roller Disco at weekends.. and wore roller boots instead.. ...remember these old roller boots ?

My first pair were like the picture the OP shows. I wore the key around my neck on a cord. I skated all the sidewalks in my neighborhood.

When I got a little older, I got a pair of white shoe skates and began going to the roller rink.

At the roller disco on a Saturday morning, they always played the latest chart music for everyone to skate to... but this one was a favourite at the time, and got everybody up skating and dancing.... and everytime I hear it to this day 55 years on, I think of those halcyonic roller skating days

Thanks Dolly! I hadn't seen this thread before.

I did start a thread about roller skating, a few years ago. If anyone wants to visit....

Everyone Loves to Rollerskate!

Yes, I loved mine! I used to go down the hill on it and what felt like high speed!
Later, I got my fancy white ones and like others, I went to the roller skating ring.
When my daughter was young, I would take her skating at the ring during the small children hours. They had disco balls and they listened to Michael Jackson while skating! She had the white skates too. That was so much fum!
