The World Needs a 1980s Old School Summer
As the world churns out more problems and my 2022 wtf bingo card fills up, I need an 80s summer even more.
Journey back with me to the 1980s….
Rollerskating:
Armed with $5 and some quarters for video games, the roller rink was where it was at. We were dropped off, (parents were more trusting then, I guess?) and roller-skated for hours. They had the best music and the crappiest pizza. It was the place to see and be seen.
Bike riding:
Roaming around the neighborhood with my friends was the best. We didn’t have cell phones, so we’d call on our old school home phones to see if our friends were home. Or we would ride over. You could always tell the squad was there by the bikes parked out front.
