I grew up in Chicago and one of my best memories is the city flooding the nearby city baseball field. It would give us kids an ice skating rink. So I remember my mom taking my sister and me to the Goodwill to find some ice skates.
I grew up in an area where knowing how to ice skate was a thing. The local park would flood a baseball field where we could ice skate. Then I moved to Amarillo. I didn't know many people who could ice skate.
