With the latest cold spell, word spread among local boys that Kansas City had a new place to ice skate at Eleventh and Grand. The freeing rain and snow filled the excavation for the new Altman Building, which froze solidly over the weekend. It didnt take them long to find out that there was a skating place so near. They turned out in such numbers that they covered the ice in the excavation. There were some funny sights to be seen there Sunday afternoon. Boys with a complete pair of modern skates; others with the old-fashioned wood bottomed kind, generally many sizes too large for them, and still others with only one skate, or no skate at all, having a good time. The boys seemed to be in a generous mood and it was not unusual to see one little guy takeoff his skates to lend them to another kid for a ten minute spin.
