the most comfortable skating atmostphere in the area. The rink is always
clean and the floor well-maintained. Skate Zone is owned by the parents

On occasion there is in-line skating at the Pontiac Silverdome [Pontiac]
and at the Joe Louis Arena [Detroit]. I'm not sure if these fit your
idea of a good roller rink - I've never skated there, but they may be
interesting places to skate.
You may have to do some checking around, though, to find out when the
times are.

I'm not sure if this is a match, but this Joe Dumar's place is supposed

anything like a multi-sport complex at that intersection. The Rink is

Nights are rock music, Sunday night is Soul Night, Mornings (Adults) are
organ music tapes and records, Friday night is Christian music night,
Tuesday afternoons is Tiny Tots. There's probably more, but I can't think
of it right now.
I honestly can't think of anything negative. It is a beautiful place and
they keep it so nice. The owner has another rink in Ohio, and he is
constantly doing something to improve both rinks in some way. [Probably
Bert Anselmi who owns the Elyeria Roll-Arena.]
I, personally, would like at least one evening per week for adult dance
sessions with organ music. A city just west of Detroit has a beautiful
rink where they do have live organ and called dances (adults only) three
nights per week, but the Rolladium owner didn't have much success with that.

Large, some sort concrete surface, much faster than sticky plastic floor.
I have not been there during open skate session. Good hockey program for
both grownups and kids. Not a cheesy rink - no disco ball, Mostly kids
and preteens. Video screen. Supposed to have a laser tag game soon.
Has tons of games and food area. Good selection of rollerblade rentals.
My favorite rink for hockey, pickup games on Sunday 9:00 ~ 11:00 PM.
League $110 for 10 game season. Refs are very inconsistant on level of
physical contact allowed during the game. Can be a pansy noncontact game
or head-hunting sesssion.

Roller Skating seems like it has gone through a boom-bust phase with
teens in the past ten years. At Metro-Skate, you'll find all ages.
On Friday nights, they play a variety of rap and R&B, as well as
occasional "Metallica" and "Smashing Pumpkins". In the crowds, you
will find all ages, but mostly ages 11-25 years. It is a popular
hang-out, but is very well controlled.
Every 3rd Monday of every month is Christian Music night with a live
local Christian deejay, playing the latest favorites and every 1st
Monday is a Scout night. There are occassional all-night skates,
which last from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM. With the addition of Laser Storm
in October 1996, the rink is sure to be a lot of fun.

Public
[ net gleanings ]
Demonstration Hall, the former ice rink, is the last area designated
as recreative space; the 15,725 square feet available there is primarily
used for roller skating and indoor soccer. However, like the majority
of intramural buildings, it is used by student organizations and other
university units; it is also available for community events such as
Special Olympics and dog shows.
[ grr ]
According to the campus web pages, the roller skating is open to
both students and the general public. The hours above are for during
the normal academic year, there is probably no skating during campus
holidays and perhaps different hours or no skating in the summer and
skating may be pre-empted for other uses of the hall.

This rink I recommend highly, they have an excellent floor, and their

though it is almost an hour from my home.
[ aboulanger@ldgo.columbia.edu (Albert Boulanger) - edited ]
Riverside is a redone grand ole' roller rink. Since they put up acoustic
tiles, the sound inside is not fraught with echoes, and the current sound
system is excellent. The floor is big and in excellent condition.
The music and style of skating reminded me a lot of skating in Florida -
lots of shuffling type music, early Sugar Hill Gang rap, Planet Rock, etc.
This surprised me somewhat being in the middle of the Midwest. But, aha,
the trademark Midwestern step, the backward strut was present. Alas, the
crowd was not the HiNrg crowd you see at the Roxy in NYC.
[ deejay@gatecoms.gatecom.com (Elbert Johnson) - edited ]
Riverside is still goin' strong after 56 years! Lionel, Leo, and Onalee
run the rink jointly now. For the age of the building, it's quite a
modern facility with all of the new renovations. While I was never a
competition skater, but I do know a lot of them still skate our Tuesday
and Thursday night organ sessions. Yes, we're one of the few rinks left
that still play LIVE organ music for 2 sessions. I'm one of the DJ's,
so I get to play the REAL music on Saturday nights!
As far as I'm concerned one of the most talented organists in the
country is Lionel E. LaMay, owner and operator of the Riverside Arena.
