    I live in Bklyn and it was a sad day when they closed Empire it was opened in 1941 and it closed in April of 2007..so many places in NYC we had Skate Key in the Bronx and of Course the Legendary Roxy/10-18 Tuesday night Roller skating and you would be skating next with numerous amounts of Famous people.. Well Empire was sold for 4.5 million dollars how's that for Gentrification.. It was in the Famous Ebbets Feild Garage. Such great memories...
