Drama at the ‘Rama

The New York Times recently did a story on the cyclorama in Atlanta. There are a bunch of cylcoramas still left around the world, but the Atlanta one is huge (the largest oil painting in the world).

This brought back one of the great events in U.S. racquet sports history, the finals of the 1984 Boston Open, Jahangir Khan v. Mark Talbott, 18-16 in the fifth. It was played in the cyclorama in the South End that is now a part of the Boston Center for the Arts. Hard to believe but it has been almost exactly twenty-seven years since the U.S. started putting on portable glass court squash tournaments.
