Twilight Time

I remember Pleasant Grove with fond memories. Kinda like American Graffitti.Hot cars, cool chicks, groovy hangouts.
Twilight Time skating rink was a BIG hangout on Elam Rd. Bands would play there for "sock hops." One was Southwest F.O.B. named after a trucking company I believe. Most were Samuell HS students.
Dan Seals ( England Dan) and John Ford Coley played in the band. Later they were England Dan and John Ford Coley natch, and scored some AM radio hits.
Sadly England Dan died not long ago at age 61.
What happens to our old haunts. Does everyones homestead and surrounding areas alway go south? That means North Dallas, Plano, Rockwall, all the areas we call home now will may go the way of The Grove. We will be living in Oklahoma someday.
