The Real Detroit Weekly ran a piece recently about the Detroit Derby Girls. "The roller rink — it’s a forgotten landscape. Once the hot spot for so many weekend adolescent thrills … I’m long past those days, but a group of girls have once again drawn me to this cultural relic. I laced up my skates, contemplating the great tradition of roller derby past. This is authentic and now a revival of this classic sport has come home. I’ve come to practice with the Detroit Derby Girls."
