Courtesy of Google Map. Top to Bottom: February 2008 and June 2016. Noticed they updated their furniture store appearance, logo, etc. They got rid of paper thin canopy on the side, new paint, and new logo that looks more modern. The old logo has a font that was popular in late 1990s and early 2000s, the Balloon Fonts.

Monsoon Roller Rink 16818 Florida Boulevard, Baton Rouge, LA
Both Roller City and Skate City as well as Monsoon Roller Rink were housed at 16818 Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Both Roller City and Skate City had very similar name. No other dates, information, etc. for all three rinks. Just a little bit from a couple of real estate, only one source for Skate City, and of course, Google Map.
Google Map goes far back as 2007/2008 depending on where but anyway, that showed the rinks were shut down long before that. Skate City was registered in the end of December 1978 and perhaps opened by first of January 1979 but closed in 1985. Likely those three rinks were in series occurred between 1970s and 1990s.
