Vintage Venice Pictures: Rollerskaters of the ’70s

Vintage Venice Pictures: Rollerskaters of the ’70s

Long before Venice became known as “freaky” for crazy transients and wall to wall “vendors”, Venice was “funky”. “Funky” people got their trendy “freak on” wearing Dolphin short shorts, Heaven tank tops and dancing to disco music while wearing roller skates. Peep some of the awesome pictures that Mark has put up on Flickr that document the disco days of the 70′s! Play some Donna Summer while doing so!
