Remember the….Roller Ring on the east end of town. Bowling Alley where M.O.R.E. is now. Those are examples of the kinds of activities that a community needs to keep their kids entertained. We and our kids loved doing that type of stuff and it was in our own backyard.

Dang it, I don’t remember those, We landed in the 70′s. I know you remember the old Empire Theater on Main. We hated to see that one go.
