A group of unidentified skaters pose for a photo inside Skateland roller rink on Midland Boulevard, probably sometime in the 1950s. Don and Laura Jarrell (Mom and Pop Jarrell) moved to Fort Smith in 1945, and bought the Midland rink in 1946. Their sons, Jack Jarrell, and Al Mechling, helped them run Skateland on Midland. It thrived until 1959, when it was demolished when the Jarrells retired.
