Unlike many, the rink has managed to stay relevant despite the ups & downs of skating trends. The architecture is mid-50s, the rink decoration is 70s and the carpet is so 80s. Pick any decade since the 1950s and Moonlight Rollerway has a piece of it, layered into its tapestry over time. Unfortunately, I don’t have one of those teleporting machines to go take you around there myself, so I turned to the Instagrammers of Los Angeles to take us on our date night. Whether you’re out with the girls or coupling up, this kitschy throwback to the staple of American youth has everything you need to roll back the years and have a good time… This time, a photograph of an old-school skating rental booth in central Los Angeles lures me in…Īt this point, I’ve got serious roller skating fever and must know exactly where this place is. Google tells me there’s only one “old-school” skating rink left in the city of angles and that it could only be … the Moonlight Rollerway.Ī 1950s roller skating rink still going strong, Moonlight Rollerway has got to be the ultimate time-travelling date night. Once I finish skimming through that, feeling as if I should probably get some work done now, I head over to Pinterest for my daily search of the History category, only to find more roller skates. ( Watch out for cameos by Bill Crosby and James Caan)
