Hash marks. Good. Old gyms, bad

I get a warm and fuzzy feeling when I enter a gym with the hash marks

Unfortunately, it is nearly universally true that the gym floor was laid down in the 50s, and therefore my knees soon develop a feeling I would not describe as warm or fuzzy. I would describe the feeling in said knees receiving a two-man pounding on such an ancient court as much like that felt by persons behind in their payments to certain individuals fond of driving about in Lincoln Town Cars.
