Memories of Skating Rinks That Are No Longer Open

Skating rinks give so many people much joy and happiness. When a rink closes, not only is the ice and facility no longer available, but the people that were part of the place are no longer together again. Everything that once happened at that ice rink is only a memory. This section is a place where memories of those rinks are written and enjoyed.

On Saturday, June 3, 2006 my family said "Good-Bye" to the rink and place my children "grew up" at.
A Roller Rink Closed Today
This is not about an ice rink, but about a roller rink, Bosanova Roller Skating Center. Even though Bosanova was not an ice rink, it gave happiness to many people just like ice rinks provide joy and happiness to many. For that reason, I'm putting a link to its memory in this section.
