Rainbow Arena, Chicago was where the wrestling action was in the old days. Your article on the Wong Brothers was dated 1945. The arena was also the site of boxing matches, such as Chicago regional Golden Gloves matches. In addition, they had public roller skating from time to time in the 30's.
Great stuff again, Bill.
