Glendale's 1950s Roller Rink Keeps Mondays Adults Only

Inside, a 2 1/4-inch maple floor has carried skaters since the 1950s, under a low ceiling strung with colored lights. Monday nights belong to adults 18 and up, 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

Rentals are the classic four-wheel kind, and admission is 23 dollars online, with rental skates adding 8 dollars at the window, so your own pair saves the fee and still needs a ticket. The door rule: everyone pays and everyone is in skates, with no spectators after dark. Presale ends at 8:00 PM, and door tickets go only to people who turn up in person.

The soundtrack stays retro, and the wood sets a slow gliding rhythm.
