Englewood High School Chicago
My mother said that Englewood High School in Chicago opened their doors to the community for roller skating on Friday nights in the 70s.
I also learned that a lot of people roller skated at Catholic schools. Here are the more popular ones mentioned during my roller skating interviews:
- St. Anslem
- Our Lady of the Gardens
- Visitation
- St. Sabina
- St. Bernard
- St. Martin
- St. Rapheal
- St. Killian
- St. Agatha
- Holy Angels
