Crowds of people daily are watching the progress being made on the construction of that large building being put up on Route No. 1 near Dean Street in Norwood.
Roll-Land will be its name—a structure made for roller skating. The floor will be smooth, the music appropriate. Expert roller skaters and those who are not quite so much at home on a pair of skates will be glad to know that November 11 is the opening date now set by Mr. John Santoro, general manager of this fine new enterprise.
Mr. Owen Sullivan, owner of the Talbot Alleys, Guild Square, Norwood is completing 10 new streamlined bowling alleys in the basement of Roll-Land.
