808 Please save the rink!!!!
809 Please do not destroy such a unique stitch in the fabric that is the cultural diversity of New York.
810 Please, let;s come together to save this monumental rink, thanks.
811 Please save Empire Skating Ring. There are not many places in brooklyn where our minority youth can go as it is, why take away the only place that the children in brooklyn can go to get the exercise that is much needed by todays youth and what about the numerous adults like myself who have many many years of memories skating in Empire. It's a shame that places like this are being taken away from the inner city residents. Why Take The Ring Away! It will not be replaced with a place of entertainment. Enough is enough !!! We Have To Take A Stand!!!!
812 If you want to keep clean activities available to keep kids off the street you would not close Empire.
813
814 SAVE EMPIRE! This is the last rink open in NYC - where will we skate??

831 KEEP EMPIRE OUR LAND MARK ALIVE IF WE CANT HAVE THE SAME PLACE THEN REOPEN NEAR THEIR AND KEEP IT ON EMPIRE .KEEP IT ALIVE NOW IS THE TIME WE CAN UP-GRADE IT AND MODERNIZE OUR MONUMENT. ALL IS NOT LOST. OUR KIDS NEED THIS, WE NEED THIS
832 What would be the turning point for this NOT to be closed. ....let's get to that point and keep this historical landmark open. Diana Spedding Brooklyn, New York formerly of Vancouver, Canada
833 I am so sad about what is happening to this city with its vanishing Mom and Pop businesses. I wonder who this storage facility will end up being used by...could it be the hipsters and trust fund babies who are slowly turning the 5 boroughs into their private playgrounds? The owner of the rink should be ashamed of himself.
