Steve Miller/Grampies commented on 84: pleasant elementary, land mine, winded and mugged, soirée at hog's creek, cornfield speed trap, old church, mad river museum, illinois central, bad time for a house fire, the devil beats his wife, good hair day, woody's, what $80.00 gets you

You were probably correct about the motel vetting customers, but they were checking to see if a potential customer was enough of a lowlife (druggie, ex convict, bicycle tourist.....) to merit a stay.

There would be no temptation whatsoever - Not only would I stay, I'd squat in it until forcefully evicted.

Every time I see a skating rink it brings back a lot of memories.

Looking forward to the next couple of entries. Do you head past Cedar Point? I used to go there often as a kid, and have taken my own kids a couple of times. What a fun place! Hopefully you took a day off for roller coasters!

So many social debates to be had about them. That said, if I owned a few and I told you that you could stay the night at them as you passed through on your bike trip, wouldn’t you at least be tempted?

That looks like a wonderfully relaxing place for a break.

Santa Cruz still has the roller palladium. It started the year I was born! 1950! I am still wheeling/ “skating”, too..but on a bicycle …
