In the beginning, it was Leonia Theatre...





Roller Skating begins.




Now called, Humming Wheels Arena.

Don't sell what you don't own!



Back to being called, Leonia Roller Rink.





Now closed, but attempts were made to skate again.





Skating is listed as one of the many programs scheduled.



Then and Now.
Broad Avenue entrance and the now gone, Theater Marquee.



Today it's the Leonia Recreation Center.




Over the years and as recent as 2016, there have been a few ads for skating at special events.
