The motel's long-empty pool is part of a larger chunk of hotel property that will soon be demolished. Skaters from all over California descended on Fresno City Hall last month in a rally to save the pool.

Cassidy broke her arm while skating at a friend's birthday party and later that evening Marissa was demonstrating her skating skill to her mother when she fell and broke her arm. The twins were given matching blue plaster casts, with Cassidy wearing hers for 3 weeks and Marissa wearing hers for 6 weeks. The girls live in the United States in the town of Laurel, Nebraska. Roswell Roller Skating Rink Closed on April 1The Roswell Roller Rink in Georgia USA closed its doors on April 1, 2004. The Web site for the Precision Inline Racing Team has moved to BlairSkates.com, but the extensive Roswell link directory appears to be no longer online. The Precision Team will continue training on the floor of the closed rink for a few more weeks, until it has been torn down to make room for a new office building. When that happens, the team will make arrangements to train elsewhere.
