I belive the kid in the middle was Tom Wassman. There weren’t too many red haired kids that liked roller hockey in the neighborhood, and Tom was one of them. Things were a little rough at times, but we managed to have a fun. Yes concrete was considered “open space” as long as there were no poles or cars in it. Parking lots and loading dock areas were also favorite places to get ur game going!!

Ah, the good ol’ days… When kids fell and scraped themselves but got up and dusted themselves off… instead of bouncing back with ease thanks to the injury-less support of a rubber playground.

I love the name of that place - "B&R Auto Parts". I think they went out of business when "Yuppie Auto Parts" opened up across town. In response to whewwhewwhew who said:

I wish that Auto Parts place was still there. There is no place to get quality Spark Plugs anymore.

clearly a 75 monte carlo w/landau roof in blue, the far right butgandy is a 73 cutless, also with the landau roof coincidently. the burgandy behind the monte carlo looks like a chevelle with a vinyl top. the double parked tan convert is either a buick le sabre or a chevy caprice. funny how they are all GM's.
