Carefully shielded from hapless skaters by a slender chain. <BR/><BR/>I also remember Spinning Wheels having an organist before they played Top 40, and the yellow sign up front that indicated whether it was Ladies' Choice or what have you, with the round 'All Skate' in the middle. They had good pizza.Shieldmaiden96https://www.blogger.com/profile/04673938377819957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234266106201179530.post-44634213279329599732009-03-02T17:57:00.000-05:002009-03-02T17:57:00.000-05:00The girls never dressed like that when I us to go ...The girls never dressed like that when I us to go to the rink.
