They didn't even pay rent! That place became my second home for a good 4-5 years or so, much longer than your time in the skating rink, but there wasn't a massive amount of CDs in that place and so what we had, we played over and over. I don't much listen to that music today, but whenever I hear it, it's an instant reminder of my time in that cafè and, sometimes, that first romance. |
Heh, that sounds really cool for them that they were about have a café like that. So what were some of the CDs you listened to there?
It's interesting that there aren't any roller rinks over there. It seems like the kind of thing that would be all over the place, but after a little Wikipedia research it sounds like they might be mostly an American thing. Apparently the inventor of the quad skate (the kind in the picture I posted) is actually from my home state. I had no idea!
