Giant Roller Skate
While still there, the skate is badly rotting. The giant roller skate is still there, despite a change in management, although it is beginning to look the worse for wear, showing considerable paint cracking along at least one side.
Giant Roller Skate Made of wood and plaster, it's been around since the 1980s, a relic of the Pre-RollerbladeIt's a sweet bit of road art. HUGO is emblazoned along the right side of the skate.
It stands along the road in a large parking lot of the former skating rink which is now a big flea market and Brooks Auction Transfer.
