Courtesy of Visit Kentucky. Fancy logo for a basic small rink.
Google Map. Fading signs for the name of the rink. Yes, there are two signs. One on each end of the front. It is really a Gable Cinderblock building. Notice the rink's neighbors, real tight. Yes you see that right about the door on the side is another business in the basement which pointed the red arrows, twice to go down.
Southside Roller Rink 563 Pocahontas Street, Louisa, KY
Southside Roller rink was really on 631 South Pocahontas Street in Louisa, KY but many sites addressed as 563 Pocahontas Street, Louisa, Kentucky. Google Maps points as 631 South. Many knew where this little gem was set up as you can see on the Google Map. Real close to the road and you have like maybe 4 parking spaces in this tight spot.
This rink was operated by Legend Enterprises, a company, not a family owned.
It was actually two businesses in that small spot. The skating rink on ground floor as an electronic store in the basement. This reminded me of a rink I think was in Connecticut that has an electronic repair and retail store in basement and another on ground floor as roller rink in basement!
The Interior.
N/A.
The Exterior.
It is a Gable roofed Wood or Steel Free Span Truss with Cinderblocks walls. The front was a Classic 1950s-70s Stone Wall Veneer. Trying to make it look like a Champs's Roller Drome but it was not.
The Stats:
Rink Size: N/A. Floor: N/A. Floor Layout: N/A.
