Calling all local historians, both amateur and professional! Preservation 4Culture is embarking on a new project in partnership with the White Center Community Development Association to document the history of the Southgate Roller Rink and we are asking YOU to share your memories…
The Southgate Roller Rink served as a community gathering place - weekend hangout, family activity center, and sports arena - for over 70 years. It is a neighborhood fixture that helped put White Center on the map. Popular sports figures like boxers Al Hostak and Harry “The Kid” Matthews, wrestler Robin Reed, and most recently, the Rat City Roller Girls drew large crowds to White Center. The rink is probably best remembered by locals, however, for the hours they spent showing off their skating skills circling around the hardwood floor with their family members and/or sweethearts. We want to hear about those experiences!

We’ll put up the official White Center Spring Clean photos, courtesy of Youth Media Institute, very soon.

May 15th, 2010
6:00 PM until 9:00 PM
Salvadorean Bakery (1719 SW Roxbury): Marty Gordon- collage
Through his art, Marty is asking questions, inviting debate and telling stories. Looking at one of his works is akin to peeking through a window into another world, a world where art, humor, faith, tension and candidness live together in vignettes of surreal commentary. http://martworks.blogspot.com/
Dubsea Coffee (9910 8th Ave SW): Jaime Temairik- paintings and drawings. The artists reception will be Sunday, May 16th from 2 until 4. Here’s a note from the artist: “Hey Kids! I’ll have some new paintings and drawings up mid-May to mid-June at my favorite cafe, Dubsea Coffee!
How’s about you and your fam join me for the opening party on Sunday afternoon, May 16th? There’ll be snacks and an art activity and maybe even some boogie-ing…”
Café Rozella (9434 Delridge Way Southwest): unable to get the artist’s name, but please stop by…
Full Tilt Ice Cream (9629 16th Avenue Southwest): Richard Olmstead - drawings and prints. New works. This is good stuff. See last month for the artist statement.
