Allmendinger Airview: From the air, skaters at the Allmendinger Park ice rink look about as big as ants, but it's pretty certain they are having a life-size good time. This view is looking east toward Edgewood Ave. Note pattern of tracks in snow around rink -- automobile, footprints and sleds, indicating lots of traffic to and from the rink. The current cold wave has kept the ice in the city's five outdoor rinks in good condition. Other rinks are at Burns, West, Northside School and Summit St.
