I recently visited Golden Glide Skating Rink in Decatur, GA, for a special skating event hosted by one of my favorite R&B artists, Durand Bernarr. If you're not familiar, Golden Glide has been a staple in the Atlanta area for decades, with roots that go back to the late 1970s. This classic rink has long been a gathering place for the community, hosting everything from birthday parties to themed skate nights, and it still holds that nostalgic, lively vibe from the moment you step inside. The event with Durand was a unique experience--he not only skated with us but also DJ'd the night, spinning tracks that made the floor come alive. To top it off, he even sang a few songs, creating a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that had everyone moving. It's not every day that you get to skate alongside an artist who's not only performing but also truly enjoying the moment with the crowd. As the night went on, I got hungry and made a stop at the pro shop for some hot dogs. I can't say I expected much, but they were surprisingly good--maybe it was nostalgia or pure hunger, but they really hit the spot. It reminded me of being a kid at the rink, grabbing quick bites in between skating laps. Golden Glide's floor is smooth and great for gliding, but the heat can be intense once the rink fills up. The air by the video games was a bit cooler, with some strong vents blowing icy air, but out on the main floor, it felt like a sauna when everyone got in the groove. A tip for future skaters: dress light, stay hydrated, and embrace the heat. The rink's vibe and the crowd's energy more than make up for it. If you're ever in Decatur and looking for a night of fun, Golden Glide delivers. It's a time capsule of Atlanta's skating culture and worth a visit, especially if you're lucky enough to catch an event like this.

It's been almost five months and I love the community of skaters of all backgrounds together. I prefer family nights and the staff both young and seasoned are really helpful. They do a great job of managing the floor of beginner to experience skaters.
