This is the Plainview High School Band in 1930. They are in front of the original building of Plainview High School, which is set to be torn down. I wish we could save her and bring her glory back. Things change, but the Powerhouse continues!

Skating
Who remembers skating at the Plainview Roller Rink on north Ash street growing up? I skated a lot there. Sometimes my mother and I would jitterbug on the center section. It is still open after all of these years. I love that! I came across this sticker and ticket for the Plainview vintage collection...
Tell us your memories from the Plainview Roller Rink.
