Capitol Arena AKA Capitol Roller Skating Rink, Lalor
Street, South Trenton. This is a picture from the
1950s. Thanks SJBill:)
SJ Bill adds:
The 0verhead spotlight that illuminated the entrance was blue.
It was great to get into this place and hear the music and see the sights. I was a crappy roller skater, but fully enjoyed the sights and sounds of the building.
This place was really a wonderful part of S. Trenton

Went to Saint John's the other day and the place had trash stuck to the cyclone fence that blocked the entry. A sad, sad sight. But at least the trucks from Champale don't block the road anymore do they. Lord that was awful stuff and I actually tried it with an open mind one day.
I miss skating at the Capital Rink. Had lots of fun there and that's where I learned to skate.
