Ugh. That's not the kind of "feeling better" that's going on this afternoon, though - but that too is important. Check 'er out at the library today.

Interested contractors are to meet at the site on Drysdale Road on Friday for a site tour. The rink is certainly well used. I see from the rink website that it was first opened in 1972.
