Royal Skating Palace, 5133 Soutel Dr, Jacksonville, FL
This was a skating rink that never were to last. According to Google Map, it shows an empty lot with shades of old parking lot. And I see a couple of doublewides, they are on trailers, not set up. Apparently a temporary location for those wides. This rink lasted about a year and half. Did they get burned down or demolished by a hurricane? We will never know.
It was opened on April 22, 1999 and only to shut down by September 22, 2000. Exactly 17 months in business. Perhaps less than that just to run the business. The date apparently was in the Hurricane Season.
Lack of photos and other materials online really made it more difficult for me and for you.
