If anyone has pictures or stories that they wish to share, contact me through my gofundme page. Im trying to get people to see this building rather than see through it. Maybe its not too late to save it.<br /><br />http://www.gofundme.com/275u6g <br />http://nyspavilion.blogspot.com/<br />-matthewMatthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522622873126185636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-43691774121607341932010-03-11T09:36:04.639-05:002010-03-11T09:36:04.639-05:00Sorry I'm late in making this comment.

Folks like Steppenwolf, the MC5, the Stooges, and Led Zeppelin are known to have played there. Here are a couple of pieces I did several years ago on ths joint:<br /><br />http://streetsyoucrossed.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html<br /><br />http://streetsyoucrossed.blogspot.com/2005/09/update-o-rama.htmlSigned D.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11154056194616535241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-62621314478266169132010-02-28T19:56:36.386-05:002010-02-28T19:56:36.386-05:00Absolutely incredible, and the roller rink story b...Absolutely incredible, and the roller rink story blows my mind!

This was way before roller blades.<br /><br />I also remember going there several years later, only to find the place abandoned, dirty and graffitied. It was wide open to anyone who wanted to go in. It was as if the roller skating business had never been there....chris flashhttp://shadowpress.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-85385594591416201412010-02-26T16:59:55.231-05:002010-02-26T16:59:55.231-05:00chris, did you skate right over the map itself? am...chris, did you skate right over the map itself? amazing.Jeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-70522526436416005162010-02-26T13:21:01.151-05:002010-02-26T13:21:01.151-05:00I remember this as a roller skating rink in the 70...I remember this as a roller skating rink in the 70s where I went with my day camp....chris flashhttp://shadowpress.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-44317638702925384352010-02-26T13:15:36.176-05:002010-02-26T13:15:36.176-05:00Lovely pics.
