This is what was left of the old Roller Skating Rink in Seward this morning on the Jones National Bank and Trust Block.The old building to the east of this has also been demolished to make room for the remodeled building and parking. Max Wake, President of the Bank spoke at Kiwanis this noon and told us of the plans for their new facility. It's nice to see the progress as facilities are upgraded but the passing of old buildings, brings about a certain amount of nostalgia. The Skating Rink was built after our skating days but we did go to a Church Group party there one night after we moved back to Seward. I hadn't roller skated for at least 25 years and I quickly learned that my "center of gravity" had shifted during those years. It took a few trips around the rink to make the appropriate adjustments. When Elaine and I were courting, we did a lot of roller skating and were really pretty good at it. We could do the Skater's Waltz together better than the Blue Skirt Waltz on the dance floor.
