Kids got invited here today by friends. Here now. Probably haven't been here in 25 years.

1) place hasn't changed in 25 years. Looks same. Smells like hasn't been cleaned in 25 years.

2) cash only with an ATM on site. It's 2017, take a freaking card.

3) interesting combo of ghetto mamas and milfs. Just like JP.

We spent many a Friday night in there! Think it's a furniture store now. Or was 10-15 years ago.

Wasn't there a 3 wheeler parked along the back corner at one point in the 80s? Many good times at that place.

My grammar school used to have skate night there in the 90s. Haven't been there since, I just assumed it got really sketchy.

Kids friends have been invited to a handful of parties there. The only ones we attend are the ones on sat/sun mornings before the place opens to the public.

Outside of that, no way in hell i am in there.

Much easier to launder money for an "all-cash" business:

"We had 4,000 skaters come through the place on Tuesday and took in $120,000 cash that I would now like to deposit at your institution."

It's truly disgusting. It looks like the same carpet has been in there since 1987. My wife and I fight whenever one of our kids gets a birthday party invite, I usually lose and have to go.... ??
