Joby Moore, wearing a leopard costume, leaps during an Ice Capades Show performance at the Lakewood Ice Arena in 1950. The arena was the place to be for Tacoma residents. It quickly became an entertainment hub when it opened in 1938. The rink continued to provide skating lessons, was a popular hangout spot for teenagers, offered skating parties and hosted the Ice Follies and Ice Capades until part of the building collapsed in 1982 and the rest was demolished shortly thereafter.Made/Created
