    Default RollerCade: Detroit's oldest black-owned roller skating rink in the US

    In need of an uplifting story amid all the gloom and rancor?

    Check out the video on the page linked in this post. It tells of a multi-generational African-American family in the SW finger of Detroit who built a roller rink from scratch and continues to own and run it today, grandson of the creators in charge. If this story doesn't warm your spirits, check your pulse.
