When Our Building Was The Best Skateboard Venue in Town…

TOKY’s building in Midtown Alley has gone through a lot of changes since its construction in 1913,  evolving from one of the first Ford dealerships west of the Mississippi. In the 90s the place was known far and wide as the home of Ramp Riders, the best indoor skateboarding club in the city.

Kirsten found a great article written by someone who lived through that time, filled with great photos and news clips. The shot above is where much of the TOKY print team now sits!
