She should build an ice skating rink

Generally a nice thing to have, but why specifically?

(I'm going to guess it's a reference to something, but I've had no luck searching)

In Parks and Rec. there is the character Ben Wyatt (played by Adam Scott) who has a backstory of getting elected mayor at 18 and ruining his towns finances by building an ice skating rig called Ice Town.

Newspaper headline following his impeachment: Ice Town Costs Ice Clown His Town Crown

It's a parks and recreation reference. A character was a very young mayor and ruined the city which involved building an ice skating rink

Was scrolling comments until I saw someone mention this.

Thank you.
