Tacheles: on its way out?

This place of art was originally a Jewish department store in 1908. I was very expensive to build. During the war, when the Jews were moved out, it served as a Nazi prison. After that it was taken over by artists, and when I say taken over I mean by artist squatters, and given the name Tacheles, which is a Yiddish word for "straight talk". The building has now been bought by a corporation, which is intent on forcing the artists out and turning it into a hotel. The most common question our travelers asked is "Don't we have enough hotels?"
