GenX Roller Skating Rinks

About This Episode

Having been invented in the 16th century, roller skates were certainly nothing new or unique to Generation X. But the advent of the disco-ball, light-show, rock-music-filled indoor social club and skating arena was decidedly of our generation! In this episode, we lace up for a spin around GenX-era Roller Skating Rinks!
