Rollerheads rejoice. Coney Island will be home to a temporary roller rink this summer, said the Brooklyn Eagle. The rink, said the Eagle, will be seaside near the boardwalk, and feature a paved or linoleum surface? Who cares, as long as we get to skate, right? Right?
Well, to be honest, I never understood the appeal of roller-skating, but I’m sure someone will like it. Exact details on the location and opening date aren’t available yet, pending an official announcement.
