    Me and my family go to this rink every year when we visit Topsail and believe me, this really is one special hidden gem of North Carolina.

    I love the look of an old time rink. My parents probably knew them. My parents also built a rink in Jacksonville, FL that opened in 1964 (same year),and operated until the late 1990's, and my father ran a company that supplied wheels and skates to most of the rinks at that time. I wish more rinks still had that classic feel.

    Great video. Enjoyed hearing the owner and her husband's story. Keep uploading your videos. They're always a nice little getaway themselves.

    I am so inspired by this story. I thought at 46 I was way to old to skate. If she can then so can i. I'm going to at least give a try.

    I wish skating was still like that. I use to roller skate in the 60's thru 80's. My mom and dad met at a skating rink. I am now 61 and going to try to get back into skating. Our skating rinks in my area are all about jam skating, shuffle skating. I would of loved to skate at your rink.

      In Rensselaer Indiana there is a roller rink called “bazz’s roller rink” it’s about 66 years old and still has the feel. Not like most roller rinks this one brings you back to your time!!! It’s great family owned fun

    I bet she skated to Tiny Bubbles! Nice rink with a great personality. The skating rink saved my life after my divorce in the early 90's! Great Story

    I remember an old skating rink in Marlboro Mass, Lyonhurst.It was an old dance hall My sister and I would skate their Fri nights Sat afternoon and Sat night and Sunday afternoon. We took professional lessons and owned our own skates. We were very sad the morning we herd it burnet to the ground 😩

    Gosh I miss skating. Use to be our hangout place in Jr. High. It was so much fun. 😊 That was in the 80's. I think I forgot how. 😆 Only couple skated once. Fun times. That looks like a neat place.

    This reminds me so much of the rink I work at😄 this is sooo cool and touching. I love the Vynal idea we use iTunes but we have a wood floor, and we thought we did things old school! This is awesome!

    when you look at the facebook page and all the rules she has in place it is not a place i would ever want to skate at. She does not want anyone to use their toe stops to stop. I guess she wants the to just crash and get a chance to get hurt.
