Soon enough, I’ll be fishtailing around Fleetwood Roller Rink. In the not-too-distant future I’ll be rolling strikes again. But for now, Fireside Bowl’s doors remain open (with the proper precautions in place), and once I’m all vaxxed up it’ll be one of my first stops to make sure it stays that way. And it’s not hard to imagine why-there hasn’t been the same urgency to save recreational spots as there has been for bars, restaurants, and venues, not to mention the “sticking your fingers into holes other people have stuck their fingers into” of it all.

Every glimpse of a four-wheeled skate gave me butterflies followed by a deep longing to be sailing in circles under a disco ball to 80s tunes with a rink full of people. Over the summer, the lakefront trail, parks, and sidewalks were full of skaters in shades and headphones, some skillfully weaving through crowded paths, others slowly scooting and trying their best not to wipe out. Roller skating at least took on a life of its own in the past year, thanks in part to viral TikToks and humanity’s desire to discover as many new hobbies to distract them as possible. Still, I miss the lanes at Fireside Bowl, the snack bar at the Fleetwood Roller Rink, the camaraderie and sense of athleticism that both activities afford to even the most sedentary indoor kids.

Just thinking about being in a bowling alley or a roller rink incites a scent memory of greasy foods, stale beer, sweaty socks-I can practically smell the germs. Will we ever rent shoes again? It’s a required act for two of my favorite activities, one that feels downright irresponsible in a post-pandemic, hyper.
