Looks like the Arcadia Gardens roller rink is gone and 1010 Weed Street has returned to it's namesake but the building on 220 S. State Street is alive and well.

what a blast from the past!! historic, sobering, interesting!! wow!!! the jobs available back then are amazing!! flatten that paper out & preserve it away from light & moisture. it's a pretty big piece of paper, i'd recommend framing & matting on acid free stock.

By the way, are there movie listings in that section? I imagine Casablanca was playing about that time as well as Wake Island and Flying Tigers...
