It's a crying shame

Dear Anachronistic Ones,

Hurry, I implore you, to your nearest roller skating rink.  Is it still there?  Tell me something good.    If it is still there, please keep it for me; I plan to skate it.  The rink in my town closed two years ago.

They have just closed another one I had hoped to visit:  Los Angeles' s World on Wheels.
