Starlite was on 18 8th Avenue which was in Southern part of that town while the owner was living in Northern part of the same town. It was first opened in 1994 at a simple Free Span Steel Warehouse Building. From the look on Google Map, I am not sure if the rink was in the same color as it is today with Roman Red bottom half walls and Tan walls. The building looks new to me. I am not sure if it was actually the same building in 1994 when it first opened. Must have been built in 1993-94. That is almost 30 years ago. So, it may perhaps been the same building unless new owner built that now.
It was Ice-White Concrete roller floor with many mast posts on the edge of the rink. There are too many people in those photos so they are not shown on here. I prefer clear of any person. But if you want to see it, Check on Facebook. And you will see what I mean. It appeared to be very basic design. It had Orange tabletops with faux wood benches in the snackbar area.
But as for the rink itself, it does appear pretty big compared to the exterior photo on Google Map. So, that is why I questioned if it was original building torn down. Or damaged by natural or unnatural elements (weather). Maybe I am wrong. Maybe it is still same building.
The arcade was on the side, the lowest ceiling point of the complex. With Google Map, you will see it means on the right side of that picture.
Now it is a supply store.
