Wheel-A-While was an indoor roller skating rink located near Century High School at 1030 Weiss Avenue, where users would skate along to the biggest hit songs of the era. It was a popular hangout, especially for high school-aged students. Wheel-A-While also featured a concession stand and other entertainment such as foosball.  The business opened in 1975 and closed around 1986. Some consider Wheel-A-While to have been the last safe-place hangout for youths within the city.
