Viewfinder: Photos from Past King's Skate Country Outings

King's Skate Country has been located on Bradshaw Road for almost 40 years. We want to see photos from years past.

We asked, and boy did we receive! Last night we posted a call for photos from past King's Skate Country outings. Here are some of the pictures we received.

We asked because when we posted an article Wednesday about , we received an outpouring of comments reminiscing about years of fun there.

Dan King, co-owner of the family business, insists that roller skating is about the same thing now as it was in 1972 when he opened the rink: skating to the music, being with friends and maybe talking to a girl or boy who catches your eye.

Obviously in the 1970s things looked a little different, and we want to see how! If you have photos from trips to King's Skate Country years (or decades) ago, post them on this article or e-mail them to cody.kitaura@patch.com.

Roberto, Looks like the discourse is losing steam. There's an article in today's Bee by PaulRead More Krugman (Nobel Prize winner for economics) titled "Austerity policy creating long-term unemployment." I'd be interested in your thoughts on Krugman's take on the debt issue you raised days ago.

We're not managing our spending and revenue is in the toilet. If the administration continues at this pace, they'll be going to Mexico for our next loan.
