Florence Skate Center

This is the best I found. Kind of dark, but you can see the multi-colored light thingy on the ceiling. It's hard to make out the bad carpet, but it looks like it's still there.

Holy cow, looks like it hasn't changed a bit!

needs more "Eye of the Tiger"

Everytime I take my kids skating, I feel like I've jumped back in time to the 80's! Has not changed at all.

Yep...it's all there but the big hair.

And the Madonna gloves, remember the lace with no fingers??? OH and the glow sticks. We had glow sticks more than the glow jewelry. Do they still do the Hokey Pokey?

Yes! Thats my 7 year olds favorite time of the night. And don't forget Limbo and the dice game.

Actually,believe it or not, the Madonna gloves are back in!! My daughter just came back from Claire's in the mall with a pair - black lace, no fingers. I got a laugh out of it. They say everything comes back around.

Ah, yes, the 80's when we had all our kids' birthday parties there, what a bargain! But my daughter got so wound up and overstimulated she would be busting out crying over the least little thing. I'd have to threaten to take her away from her own party to get her to calm down!

The last time I was in a skating rink was in the early 80's and "Duran Duran -The Reflex" was in the top 10.

Sorry, all the talk about the 80's got my memories flowing I guess.
