Hi there!
Just wanted to let you know that I’m still here and Real Skate Stories is still active.
I haven’t been posting because I’m a team of one, although I truly appreciate everyone sharing their stories and memories during my absence.
What’s Keeping Me Busy?
- Working on writing projects, promoting my blogging book through workshops.
- Seeking a PT social media marketing or community manager position.
- Visiting libraries, contacting museums and researching newspapers for more information on Chicago roller skating history with a goal of completing my book before the end of 2016.
- Presenting Chicago roller skating history at libraries, schools and senior living centers.
- Considering ways to make this site more interactive.
My Ask of You
Please keep sending people to the site to share their stories and memories.
Also, I STILL NEED PICTURES. If you have any images you’re willing to share, please contact me.
Thank you for your continued support.
Does anyone remember the names of the 2 roller rinks in Englewood back in the 70’s? One for sure was on 63rd Street then it became a church. It was west of Racine Street
Hi Maria. The two rinks I found were Skate City Roller Disco (1234 W. 63rd Street) and Foxy Wheels (62nd or 64th and Damen).
