Social media staffer: "That crowd of whiners over at SkyriseCities is complaining about us again."

Tim Shipton: "Again? What is it this time?"

Staffer: "No skating in the Ice District this year. Remember we cut it because Mr. Katz said there was no money to be made."

Shipton: "Fine. Fine. I'll talk to facilities and we'll put it back for a month before it melts. Sigh. That should shut them up for a few weeks, at least until the renderings come out for Phase 2."

I guess Katz did find a way to make a dollar from skating:

Now Available: Spring Break Skate

$30 to skate for an hour is WILD. lol Even WEM is half that price, and you don't have a time limit beyond operating hours.

Expensive! It seems like a clever way to not have it be used very much, so next year they can say the numbers don't support it and not bother at all.

This is to skate in Rogers Place. The plaza rink is still free.

Oh at least that's a bit better. Much of the earlier discussion was about the plaza rink, so I thought this was what the fee was for. Thanks for the clarification.
