Cape Skate, 620 Commercial St., Cape Girardeau, MO
This rink was in business in Cape Girardeau, Missouri until around 2007 according to Loopnet. They only have a couple of photos and that is all I could find. The start date was unknown.
It was built in 1994 to 1995 and apparently the rink was opened that year 1995 until its demise in 2007. That is twelve years in business. It was a standard concrete block building with flat roof pitched slightly according to Loopnet. 18,000 SF building. It was Blue with Bold Yellow italic fonts for the name of the rink, Cape Skate. I am not sure what font but looks Ariel to me. It was in the industrial section in that area. All commercial buildings.
Interior is unknown. Anybody?
