Description: The Hub Roller Rink opened October 1950 at 4510 North Harlem Avenue in Chicago in an area that was really quite desolate. The HUB was a supersized roller skating rink for its time and housed a Giant Wurlitzer Pipe Organ, originally played by Leon Berry. The skating area was about 275 feet long and some 95 feet wide. The floor was much larger if you include the area outside of the rink railings that allowed skaters access to the rink floor. The rink was open every night and had matinees on Saturday and Sunday. Weekends always found huge crowds, some who never even put on a pair of skates.

Description: A roller disco is a discotheque or skating rink where all the dancers wear roller skates. The music played is modern and easily danceable, historically disco but in the post disco era, almost any form of dance, pop or rock music was used. The roller disco concept originated as a fad in the '70s when the disco craze was at its height, peaking around 1980 and inspiring several roller-disco magazines. Roller disco experienced a mild revival in the early 2000s, where certain clubs began hosting roller disco nights. Just like with in other discos, special effects such as fog machines and flashing traffic lights are often used.
