Many of you might remember going to the Bay Shore roller
rink as a child. Perhaps you even had a birthday celebration there. Back
in the 1970s, they had live organ music to skate by. The 1980s ushered
in a DJ to replace the organ, and shortly after the new millennium, the
place was closed for good. Now in abandonment, its memory lives on. RIP

These wooden benches used to surround the entire circumference
of the rink, but this is the last one left.
