Kids miss roller rink

I live in Peachtree City. We used to have a roller skating rink nearby that was a big hit but then it closed down and was made into a mechanic shop.

My school, Our Lady of Victory, had a skate night there. Now, the new roller rink that we go to is in Newnan. The new rink is busier and far away. I can’t go because of the distance.

A long time ago at the Peachtree City roller skating rink, people went there all the time. Now at the new rink only two people from our class go. I would be so happy if somebody made a rink in Peachtree City again.

I would love to skate again with all my friends after school. I would like a roller rink because I could spend time with my friends. I could go because it would be closer. Again, I would love a new roller rink.
