Day 14: Pershing Square

Today Dik did not have the pieces ready for my sale tomorrow, so I wandered back over toward Bella Findings.  On the way I noticed Pershing Square, which I never really had time to check out, but today I mosied on over.  I realized there is a great seasonal ice skating rink sponsored by the city parks called
Downtown on Ice.  A session is six bucks, and skates are two.  Their hours are:

November 18, 2010—January 17, 2011

OPEN DAILY

Monday—Thursday 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm

Friday—Sunday 10:00 am to 10:00 p.m.

Sunday afternoons between 2:00 and 4:00pm you can glide on the ice to swing, salsa and blues bands.  Fridays 8:00 -10:00 rock and roll cover bands - Dec 10th is  Fan Halen.  Wednesday nights from 8:00 -10:00 rock out to 80s bands, (On December 15th The Motels!  I might have to rope Jason and Rosie into this one with me and my boys...)  I did not skate this time, I just took these photographs of some cute girls, and a man with a very odd hat.  I have to say, nestled in among the high-rise buildings in a very commercial neighborhood, I love this oasis of fun and recreation.  The next time I have to drag my boys downtown on a jewelry errand I think with a promise of hot chocolate and ice skating I can really sell it.
