PHASE FIVE. W-C-I-A 3’S JANE KIM HAS THE STORY. SKATELAND IN SAVOY IS READY FOR A NEW CHAPTER AS CAPACITY LIMITS ARE NOW LIFTED FOR THE BUSINESS. “IF THEY SEE A CROWD, THEY WANT TO BE PART OF THE CROWD, CAUSE THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY’RE MISSING. AND WHAT THEY’RE MISSING OR HAD
BEEN MISSING IS THE EXERCISE AND THE FUN OF ROLLER SKATING.” UNTIL NOW, MANAGEMENT WOULD HAVE TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY WHEN THE CAPACITY LIMIT WAS REACHED. NOW THAT BUSINESSES ARE ALLOWED 100 PERCENT CAPACITY, MORE THAN 800 PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO COME INSIDE. “WE ARE JUST ECSTATIC BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE TO BE AT
THE FRONT DOOR AS PEOPLE STEP UP AND LET THEM KNOW WE’RE AT CAPACITY AND TURN PEOPLE AWAY AND HAVE FAMILIES AND KIDS BE DISAPPOINTED AND HAVE SOME KIDS ALMOST GET TEARY-EYED.” BUT NO TEARS ON THIS RINK FRIDAY NIGHT .. AS FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND COUPLES ENJOYED SKATING TO THE BEAT OF THE
MUSIC. “IT’S AWESOME CAUSE WE LIVE LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. SO I HAVE THREE KIDS, IT’S NICE TO SUPPORT LOCAL, LOCAL PLACE AND I HAVE A LOT OF MEMORIES GROWING UP GOING SKATING SO IT’S COOL THAT OUR KIDS CAN COME HERE AND BUILD MEMORIES.” IN SAVOY, JANE KIM, WCIA 3,
