Is that photo on top from the upper west side armory? If so, I can’t believe how good it looks. I ran in meets there in high school, and at the time it shared space with a homeless shelter. We ran on a splintered wood floor around an infield filled with not-so-great-smelling cots. I remember our meets and practices…

Thank you for this. For years, I’ve been saying that The Hunger Games is a mashup of two Stephen King (Richard Bachman) books-The Running Man & The Long Walk (dystopian future where teens from around the country compete in an annual endurance competition with only one survivor).
