Does anyone remember where these 2 places were in early 80s history of Niagara Falls?

1.) Screaming Wheels Roller Rink.

2.) Carrousel Roller Rink.

Put your thinking caps on. Worth 50 points.

25 points taxpayer. Half for getting Carrousel Roller Rink right. It was at the Prime Outlets. Which is changing its name again for the 3rd time. Screaming Wheels was on Cleveland Avenue, not too far from North Junior, and was short-lived, which is why no one would have gotten it.

Here's another: Where was The Starlite Movie Theater? And for a bonus, Where was the store, "Smoker's Haven" located?

Starlite was on military on the John Flaming Hearth side. Used to go there all the time with Mom, Dad and brother taxpayer. Can't help on the smokers haven.

Or, am I thinking of a differnt place? I know the one I am talking about was a drive in not a theater. What was the name of that one? Was the starlite the one on Main st. that is now some kind of club?

Tax: you are right about Starlite. It was on Military Rd. Go here: http://www.drive-ins.com/theater/nytsta6

Smoker's Haven was a store in the Rainbow Centre Mall in the 80s.

Here's another: Where was Niagara Electronics Video located? They used to rent movies and video games -- before Blockbuster crushed everyone... Bonus question: Where was Coulson's Pharmacy? That one should be easy...

*Bonk*. No. Sorry. But we have some door prizes for you... ;-) It was on Hyde Park Blvd, right near the fire house on Royal Ave. Now it's a Day Care.

Here's another: Where was the Trippi's Markets? Here a hint: It used to be Laublaws back in the day. Come on, guys... I grew up in the 70s and 80s and am I the only one who remembers this stuff??? :-)
