"The Pier" offered roller skating on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays as well as dancing on Saturday nights. Interestingly the center offered both Coca-Cola products and Pepsi-Cola products as well as Sealtest Ice Cream. In 1957 the aging buildings on the wharf partially collapses and fell into the bay. The wharf was intentionally burned in 1959 to prevent any future accidents.
