Title: Skating Rink at Howard
Post by: Marcia Moore on March 13, 2007, 05:46:51 PM
The Severyite - March 4, 1937......
     O.D. Harvey, Bartlesville, Okla., has an announcement in this week's paper about his skating rink in Howard.  According to Mr. Harvey, he also has the largest Kansas rink in Independence.  At Howard he has all new equipment and promises an orderly crowd at all times.  An additional feature is free instructions to lady skaters.

Anyone know where the skating rink was located in Howard?

I know that the building just north of Lannings Auto used to be a skating rink.  I also believe that there was one on the east side of Wabash, but not sure where it was.

Make that THREE middle-aged women! Skating is great fun! I haven't been on rollerskates in years, but it's just like riding a bicycle, right? Oh wait...I used to fall off my bike a lot. So.....would admission to the skating rink include the pillow you strap to your butt?

Isn't that just a frightening thought?  Seeing your mother looking back at your from the mirror.  Then when you get to sounding like your mother on the phone, look out.  Middle age is definitely here and life has just smacked you in the face.

And, Mother, I don't mean that as a bad thing.  Ha

I just hope I look as great as my mother when I am her age.
Lord but that woman has class!
My mama is beautiful...
Her hair is always done.. her make up is always on.. and she always has a smile and a nice thing to say to people..
Yep...
If I am half the woman my mother is.. I will have turned out mighty fine.
