I've only been off the plane four hours but these 1200+ photos from my latest adventure across the pond aren't going to sort themselves out!

I kicked off my fourth trip with something about as American as you can get - a roller skating rink. There really isn't much information on this one out there, my friend who I stayed with for the first few days found it by accident whilst delivering in the local area. It probably closed due to lack of business as it really is way out in the sticks with no big towns or hubs nearby, but there must have been demand for something like it at one point. Anyway, the rink area suffered a major fire in the roof a few years back, which has caused much of the support structure to collapse onto the rink floor and subsequently get completely overgrown with moss and plantlife. Thankfully the other areas weren't damaged but everything was soaked when the fire was put out.

Oh and there is also a 1970s Chevy Camaro in a side part of the building as well.

Like I said, as American as it gets...

Thanks for looking, more here https://www.flickr.com/photos/mookie427/albums/72157668734963156 :mrgreen:

Loads more things to be posted over the next few days, the general calibre of the places I managed to see this time far surpassed anything I had done prevously over there.​
 
I would love to see this place being a roller skater for twenty five years before I got into this game.looking forward to seeing the rest of your American reports after seeing so many teasers.but I am so jealous of this one
 
Tried roller skating once, spent thirty minutes falling on me arse then two lovely girls took me by the hands and guided me around the rink, when the b###hs got up to mach nine the rotten c#ws let go me hands, I still say it was a bloody stupid place to put a pilller.

Nice One Mook, I'm looking forward to your reports, Thanks

Nice photos Mook. But the trophies in the trophy case have nothing to do with skating. A shame about the seventies Camaro as there are a lot of enthusiasts out there willing to preserve American history. I thought someone would have snapped it up and renovated it.

Hahahaha...... Funniest thing all month :). Mad bugger.
 
What an amazing find at the end, my brother owns a 73 camaro, a mean green machine with a scary v8 engine...... such a shame that one couldn't get restored.....
