A Piece of History

World Culture. This is graffiti on a piece of the Berlin Wall. When I first saw this, I wondered why this slab of graffiti was placed in the garden and then I learned it was part of the Berlin Wall. I saw this yesterday at Chapman University and thought it was so symbolic of hope, freedom and conquest.

The Berlin Wall is special and memorable to me, and I purchased a 'piece' of it at MACY'S when pieces first came on the market. Sadly I lost it in transit to Central America and have greatly regretted it ever since. A historical event in history.

Very nice. I have family that lives in what used to be the East. They visited the first time 2 yrs ago. Just shopping in TX was like us going to Disneyland for them. My Great Aunt, 80yrs old, found the Mall so overwehlming, we had to break it up into a two day shopping trip. It was interesting seeing what all we have from a different perspective.
