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.
