The Axle Roller Rink in Norridge Illinois. Originally "The Hub". Closed in 1985.

 
Aside from my interests in trains and transportation subjects, I
am also an avid roller skating enthusiast. Here is a picture of
a place my family and I used to go roller skating at during the
1970's, in near northwest suburban Norridge Illinois.
 
Originally known as The Hub Roller Rink, the Axle Roller Rink
as it was known in later years, was located on North Harlem
Avenue, near West Montrose Avenue, in Norridge Illinois.
 
The building still stands today, perhaps on borrowed time. It
has since been utilized for other retail store uses.
