Kutna Hora, Czechia reminds me of the working class city I grew up in, except it's half the size and has world-class cultural heritage sites.

The whole place smelled like fresh tobacco because of the Philip Morris factory. Store fronts were boarded up, and the only place to eat was a has-been pub where half the rooms had been emptied of furniture. I enjoy places that have seen better days, and this was no exception.

The last four photos in this set are of the Trade Fair Palace, a huge Czech Functionalist building that is now home to the National Gallery and a kick ass cafe. Highly recommend spending some time here if you get the chance.
