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 ?

90 Years young, and still roller skating.

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
