Currently as Hollywood Palace, it was once as Skate-O-Rama roller rink back the day. Google Map.
Currently as Hollywood Palace. The interior including the Maple floor was once Skate-O-Rama. Courtesy of Hollywood Palace. You can tell one thing they left it on there.. the Starburst lights! Look up on the ceiling in this photo.
Skate-O-Rama 1721 Smith St., Greenville, MS
Before it became Hollywood Palace Bingo on 1721 Smith Street, Greenville, Mississippi, it was Skate-O-Rama. While there is no further information than just the name, it is now a center where weddings and receptions can be hosted at this venue. So are concerts, bingos. Did I hear B9? Haha.
BINGO! Yes, literally. Hahaha. Well, at the time as a roller rink, this rink used to host professional wrestling with big names. Seen in articles and articles in the 1970s. They regularly hosted wrestling matches there. Some rinks did this and even boxing matches (for Boxing, seemly more often in the Northeast US).
When they had no wrestling matches, people roller skated at this small 11,348 Square Feet building.
The Interior.
Originally, it was a rink so naturally, it had non-painted Polished Maple floor with exposed Free-Span Trusses. It was wall to wall rink with some of it up front for refreshments, seating, etc.
In fact, they had Starburst lights and they still have it upon the ceiling!
It was heavily renovated to become a bingo hall/wedding/party venues.
The Exterior.
It showed very simple Free-Span Steel Truss Blocks-Walled Warehouse - like Building with Gable roof.
