Courtesy of Google Map. Noticed it was Spinners (and 2 other names). Poor photograph by Google in 2008. Only photo because they demolished this building that year in 2010. You can tell with them clearing out with that large dumpster. Next door was the bowling alley that was demolished as well.

Spinners Skating Center was on 1150 West Ave in Cartersville, Georgia since Chuck Spinner built and opened the rink in 1993. But the rink closed and sold in around December 03, 2007. I am blessed to catch on Google Map a very poor quality photo taken of the rink in 2007.
The rink name has nothing to do with wheels spinning. Likely it was named after the owner's last name, Chuck Spinner. Some people are named perfectly for what they do although last names were invented as far back to Christ. People would name other people's last name. Anyway, just happened for Chuck to name his rink, Spinners Skating Center.
There are no photos of interior. Only I have is the only good one-the blurred Google Map in 2007. The building appeared to be around 15,000 SF but not sure. However, now it is an Arby's and a Gun shop behind Arby's. CVS took over where the bowling alley was. I had a feeling both were part of it. The rink and bowling. Usually many rinks and alleys are part of same ownership back then.
Chuck Spinner must have had re-registered or something happened in year 2000 according to Manta that it was re-established as a rink.
A skater told me in his email that this rink had two other names prior to Spinners. He said it was Cartersville Skating Center and maybe Hot Wheels but he is not sure about the latter one. Anyone else know more about this? Please let me know. email me at [email protected]! He also corrected the error I made that I thought it was a rink. It was a bowling alley next door.
The Interior.
N/A.
The Exterior.
It was a Free Span Steel Truss Warehouse-like Building with a Gable roof: Gable roofs actually- 2 level (front section). The Gable part was low pitch. It was showing Light Gray color sheets with Blue trim and it had tall narrow windows in front of the building It was very simple design. The sign was placed above the front windows. No street sign. it may have been removed due to widening of the road as you can see on Google Map when you go there.
