Last Roller Rink
I somehow missed the news that Brooklyn’s (and the city’s, as far as I can tell) last roller rink is closing on April 23 (just one month away). Empire Roller Rink’s closing (see NY1, Curbed) will follow on the heels of the Roxy, which closed two weekends ago. I guess roller rinks are a losing proposition even in cities where real estate isn’t sky high, much less New York.
