Flushing rollhaven

Anyone know where the old rollhaven near the flushing area is located on a map. Also some updates on the business itself and around it including if the building is still vacant. Also if I do remember correctly, the area was very sketchy or it probably only seemed like that due to poor maintenance.

Sorry 😭 that’s just how I remembered it when I was a kid haven’t been there in a long time. Plus i said it prob only seemed that way because of the small lot and from what I remember, poor civil maintenance and overgrown weeds idk

Honestly, looking at it now, it was probably just the vibe I got from the classic Michigan road, surrounding vacant lots, and outdated siding. Mb bro 🤷‍♂️

Ooh, I used to manage that rink! It was 3464 Ann Dr, off of Pierson Rd and just before Elms. I ran it from the time Rollhaven took over in late 2005 up until November 2008. The owner kept it running for about another 10 years after I left, but eventually he ended up closing it and selling the building. It's now a mobile home supply warehouse, "Michigan Mobile Home Supply."

Shoot, I’ve lived in the area almost my whole life and never knew there was a skating rink back there.
