Both of Google Images. Unfortunately that is all they had. No other photos. Google Map has it terrible job with the photo.
This photo with skaters were all resting and no other skaters on the floor! That was it. I know how that feels because I experienced something similar. Empire Skates, May 1983.. 7 skaters including floor guard (and maybe the DJ, Snack bar staff, and skate rental staff to be counted as well bringing to 10 people). A far cry from March 1978 of overpacked wall to wall. Empire Skates West Reboot, 1994: 3 people, just 2 skaters me and a hot Italian female I wanted to date but she was engaged at the time- I still remember her name!. Hi Julie S. (wanted to say whole name but cant do it here). Sports-O-Rama August 1984, 4 of us there skating, but my friend not skating, just 3 of us skaters then went over to dance center, 2 of us dancing. a female and I. That was the one I lost her phone number in the wash. Thanks mom! Haha. Where are you Gina! (Found out she moved to Florida with her family the following year after we met).

Sistruck Roll-R-Bowl 611 Allenwood Drive, Carthage, MS aka
Funtime Roll-R-Bowl 611 Allenwood Drive, Carthage, MS
Funtime Roll-R-Bowl 611 Allenwood Drive, Carthage, MS
This facility had two major activities- roller skating and bowling at 611 Allenwood Drive in Carthage, Mississippi. They were registered as FunTime Roll-R-Bowl but also they were known as Sistruck Roll-R-Bowl. The latter was named after the owner, Gary Sistruck.
Gary opened in year 2000 in a newly build building the same year. However, he closed for good in 2016 according to Google Images after someone saw it was up for sale.
Now it is an O-store (flea market). From what I saw on Facebook for the Flea Market Plus +, they got a lot of interesting stuff to sell. And yes, in March 2020 on Facebook, they even have a pair of roller skates for sale! However, I am not sure about the flea market is still in business or not because their website is down and the last dated was March 2020, the same month that the lockdown happened globally. Will they reopen? I am not sure.
It says temporarily closed. We will wait and see. Yeah, I am sure those skates are still there but will be sold on first day they open again for sure. Skates are in hot demand.
Upon looking how cool stuff they have to sell, I can see the floor which matched to a photograph I saw in Google Image. That was only photo I could find of interior.
I do not understand why he made pretty good money with 350,000 USD per year and should cover about everything in expenses. And close in 16 years? 16 years is pretty good length for a dual business.
The Interior.
Not much I could tell. But off the rink floor, there were checkers floor. Large checkers-like. One section with Orange and White as other Blue and White thanks to seeing it on Facebook for the flea market. The rink floor itself was Blue coated Polyurethane Concrete.
The Exterior.
It is a nice Gable roofed Free-Span Steel Truss Steel-Walled Warehouse - like Building. It is in a nice Tan color. The front has very little Bricks just surrounded the windows and front doors.
The Stats:
Rink Size: N/A. Floor: N/A. Floor Layout: N/A.
Building Size: N/A. Built: N/A. Demolished: N/A.
Type of Building: Free-Span Steel Truss Steel-Walled Warehouse - like Building.
