Description: This Sunday, patrons of the Happy Wheels roller rink in Portland will skate their last laps under the disco balls and dance music that has provided a steady beat for more than 40-years. It's a place where kids have strapped on their first skates, where teens have found refuge, where adults have fallen in love, even married — and where a new generation has learned to love skating. This week, loyal patrons gathered at the last roller rink in southern Maine on its final adult skate night to celebrate the place that helped shape their lives.
