063-Brno_town_hall_Panorama4.jpg
Looking eastward, the courtyard in front of the Old Town Hall is in the foreground. In the distance, to the right are 3 smokestacks. I thought the thin smokestacks were part of the Siemens Energy complex and Nová Zbrojovka, a newly redeveloped area that used to be a big arms and munitions factory. But it looks like they're from 1 building—a dance school called Starlet. I could not find information on the history of their building (I spent minimal time on it). The fat one that looks like a nuclear power plant cooling tower is the same block as the Starlet, but I can't find any information on what it is or is associated with. Maybe the dance school has a small reactor so they can teach how to do the "Neutron Dance" (a Pointer Sisters song that was in the movie Beverly Hills Cop).
