Derelict and fire damage; an abandoned late 1800s roadside inn and ballroom in Germany.
After the reunification of Germany in 1990, the autobahn was opened up to all travellers. With a huge reduction in passing trade, the inn began to struggle. Eventually, it closed in the mid-2010s.

The musical "Cats" appeared to have been put down after an 18-year run on Broadway, a failed 2016 revival and a ridiculous 2019 film. But there's life in the old cats yet, thanks to a new revival, "Cats: The Jellicle Ball." Here's Time Out's review of the latest version, which is reimagined as a ballroom runway show, complete with extravagant costumes and wigs, and a cast whose performers fall on wide spectrums of gender identity and presentation. "[Co-directors] Levingston and Rauch’s vision fits 'Cats' like a long sequined glove. No chance is missed to tease out potential queer meanings — when the cats sing 'Jellicle cats come out tonight,' some of them carry signs that say 'COME OUT' — and at times, the matches are almost eerily perfect," writes Adam Feldman.
