If I had the money and the time, I would LOVE to open a roller rink in Worcester.

I feel like Skylite closed at the worst time. There has been such a resurgence of rollerskating and blading within the last 5 years.

They closed Roll On America in Lancaster in 2021, and it was always pretty busy there. Used to drop the kids off for birthday parties and skate nights a few times a month. And now all I see on my Insta feed are people at roller rinks having a great time.

Mechanics Hall actually used to be a roller rink in its early days!!! Honestly it would be kinda iconic to host roller skating nights in there as it is
