Chez Vous, Boston's last-standing roller rink, is on the brink of shutting down. The Dorchester landmark owes upwards of $100,000 in back taxes but the city is working with the rink's owners to pull the struggling business out of the red.

WBUR's Andrea Shea visits Chez Vous to explore what's at stake and why some think the rink is worth saving.
