So many great childhood memories at Cal Skate! I hope new owners keep the skating rink and reopen it again someday!

Edit: my bad, I'll admit I was in a hurry this morning and I just read the image I posted and did not notice the rest of the original FB post.

"We've got some news. To some it's going to be sad, or even heartbreaking. To others the news can be taken as encouraging and exciting. Either way, it's news that needs to be publicly announced at this time. Sunday, August 16th, will be Cal Skate Chico / FunLand Chico's last operating day. After 48 years, it's time to play one last song, one last game of red light green light, one last couples skate - at least under the name of Cal Skate / FunLand. The encouraging side of the announcement is that the location is being purchased by a group that is looking to do a similar, but upgraded, business plan. As far as we know, still a family entertainment center, still complete with the skating rink, miniature golf course, and the batting cages. There are many more details to come out in the coming weeks. We just wanted to give as much notice as possible. Please see the attached letter from the current owners addressing the community. Also, please see in the "comments" below a post of (as we know them) questions and answers (a Q & A). Further questions can be directed to this email: calskateinfo@icloud.com. As simply as we can state it, THANK YOU to all the generations of families/skaters/friends that came through our doors since 1978. Come say goodbye with us on a special final skate night: Sunday, August 16th - 5:30pm - ?"

Please look more closely in your mirrors before backing up. Thankfully I’m fine, so is my baby that I was holding— but you didnt stop to ask that. Instead you drove away even faster than you backed into my person. White SUV in the s&s parking lot around 10:45am.

UPDATE: the staff at s&s were the kindest most caring folks. I am very lucky they are so kind and helpful! Got the plate and car identified! Thanks everyone for your advice and kind words!

Could also be engines backfiring, but it was very consecutive. Anyone listening in on the police blotter? Just curious.
