A skating Rink

While researching Chicago roller skating history, I found 11 roller rinks, 1 roller skating manufacturing company and one roller skate retailer in 1885. How cool is that?? Ok, I’m excited. I don’t know about you. Either way, keep sharing your stories so I can have a good draft by May 31, 2012.  And please,please, please  share any images, videos, ads – anything – you find on roller skating history anywhere in the world!
