Let the good times roll. A new roll skating rink is coming to Central New York.

Roller skating actually originated in the 18th century but it didn't gain widespread popularity until the 1880s. The phenomenon came to the United States around the 1930s and stayed popular until the 50s. It waned for a few decades before coming around in the 1970s, and it's back again thanks to the resurgence during the COVID pandemic.

Open Before the Holidays

The plan is to hopefully be open before the Christmas holiday season, sometime in November, according to Syracuse.com.

From the looks of it, Skate-N-Place is going to be a popular place when it fully opens. The announcement has already been shared nearly 2,500 times on Facebook.

Just like fashion, everything that was old is new again. Even bell-bottom pants have come back around.
