Update: Replaced with a new entertainment complex.
I guess I don’t understand why it was a good idea to tear down the ice rinks out in Gumbo Flats. Was it low quality? I just remember friends in high school having to practice at 2:00 AM in the morning because ice time was at such a premium, but apparently there is a “glut” of ice facilities in the region now. With the fiasco unfolding at Creve Coeur Lake Park, why couldn’t they stay here? I call it the McDonald’s Hamburger Wrapper Society: wasteful and illogical.
And it appears that a NEW ice arena is being built further west on 40 on the south side of the highway???
