It's just a rink, not pretty but it's not like it's there 365 days a year.
It's obvious that there is one DH on that street that is making it their life's work to b!0tch and moan about everyone else on the street. These people are usually depressed, angry people that are mad at the world.
I am willing to bet that everyone in the neighbourhood knows who the butt head is.
If I lived on that street I would get the rest of the peeps together and make it my life's work to get them to leave the area.
People suck!!!!
When I was growing up there were back yard, front yard, side yard rinks as well as ponds to skate on.
I don't know of any backyard rinks here but there are plenty of rinks made on local lakes as well as several outdoor rinks and two indoor links maintained by the city.
We even have an outdoor speed skating oval training track.
