Vision is back

These were the most comfortable shoes in the 80's. I always saw them on Ebay for crazy prices.

Well, they started releasing sizes 8-12 again on their website--NO half sizes. Shipping from Canada. I put these in my cart, forgot about them and they sent me a coupon for $20 off. $50 total and free return shipping. It was a no brainer. They fit just like they used to. Now, I have to get some high tops too.

I broke my wrist, skating a few years ago and said, "I was done"--- I don't heal up like I used to. Metabolism has slowed down, yadda yadda.......and I will be 50 in January. I think as soon as the temps drop below 100° consistently, I am going to the park again before work.
 
How long you been in VA beach---long enough to remember Planet Music or Skinny's in Norfolk?

35 years. Yes to Planet Music at Towne Centre. My Dad used to buy-up country music CD’s and ship to south India…they love American music. I married a local girl and know everybody / every place / everything. From what I’ve gleaned, the entire city was a cow pasture at one time.

This is wild: My old skate buddy gets a hold of me after 5-6 years last night and now, this morning and sends this pic:

I am like, "Dave Duncan Alva model 87-88....... wait, that was MY exact board that I skated that year? What the #$@$ 🤯 !"

He STILL has that old thing in his garage! 🙃

Cow pasture haha, now there are Squids everywhere. We liked going to The Great Steak and The Orapax Inn and Captain Georges when I lived there. Jewish Mother for jam night too.
