Ya I live in Collinsville .. Do you live here as well ? I am from Granite City thats were I went to school . But sadly Granite is a real Shit Hole full of crime and other things..
I still remember going over to play hockey as a kid in Granite City at the outdoor rink (roof, no sides, if I recall). That terrible smell in the air from the chemical plants or steel plants is something I’ll never forget!
Ya most of that smell was Granite City Steel and the Nestle tea factory down on Adams street. And ya the rink is just a roof and the ends of the rink had tarps strung up to keep the wind out and cold out but it was still a very cold place to play. I remember those saturday & sunday 6 am games when it was 9 degrees and could not feel my toes lol..
Was there another outdoor rink like that in Cahokia? I played in an outdoor rink a bunch of times when I was younger, but I thought it was in Cahokia for some reason. Pretty fun to play in, but DAMN it was cold
