-------------------------------------
In Billboard June 21, 1947, it said "New" Revere Skating Arena, so I went looking for the "old" one. I did find one called "Arena Roller Rink". The only articles I found were from 1946 about a 2nd fire in 3 days and there amusement places and a second rink nearby. If I find more, I'll post it here.
