Not sure why these photos slightly terrified me, but they did. A photographer found pictures that he took at a Florida roller rink in 1972 and they definitely paint a picture of a time and place...
I was only 9 in 1972, and I went to a roller rink or two, but whoo boy do I remember it differently. I'm hoping it's just a Florida thing, and not a 1972 thing. (Although, I must admit, I did own a pair of those pants on the right)
