World of Wheels 100 Apex Road, Checotah, Oklahoma. Top view of the empty property once said to be a roller rink. Demolish date is unknown. Was this the original location? Anybody? Source: Google.

World of Wheels was also located at 100 Apex Road, Checotah, Oklahoma. This rink closed mysteriously because all I see are the lasting footprint of the building on the ground. The foundation. The possibility of the rink floor also seen. But then it is confusing with this World of Wheels at another location in the same town. Was it a relocation? Or was it a mistake with the address or what? I have no dates of opening and closing for THIS location on Apex Road. Anyone can help me with this one?
Yellow Pages mentioned how many years it was in business but you need to remember Yellow Pages do not know when a business closes for good and it always think it is still in business. The same way with the print version as I recalled in late 1990s that they kept some businesses as long as about 10 years AFTER the businesses close. I knew a friend who owned an entertainment business and he went out of business in late 1990s but I remember seeing in 2000s, yes, 10 years later in the printed phone book, it showed it was still in business but he was not in business anymore. That was in print, not online! Well, same thing but thanks to that company website, I am able to track down to the year they opened: 1984.
There is another interesting mystery. Google Map points where the rink was with the red pin addressing as 100 Apex Road, Checotah, Oklahoma. But look at the bottom of the map photo. It shows as East 1080 Road, Checotah, Oklahoma. Why have two addresses? Did Google make a mistake or what? Anyone can help me with this two addresses. This is why I made two profiles. Just in case.
You see, this one as addressed as 100 Apex, it only shows nothing on the ground. The East 1080 Road location has old photographs. I used that ON this page-- World of Wheels.
UPDATE --
Minutes after this, I found it. It was literally NEXT block. Was that 100 Apex location the ORIGINAL location before the current one seen on Google Map that they are permanently closed and as addressed as 4540 East 1080 Road, Checotah, Oklahoma. Was it an error by Google or what because I got two addresses and they were literally next block to each other. However, was the 100 Apex originally that rink location?
