The Berlin Wall - Thursday 19th October
Checkpoint Charlie // Location: Berlin

Background Information:

Where the East used to meet the West, or at least for allied personal. Checkpoint Charlie is a little piece of Berlin trapped in a time warp. The Surroundings maybe changing rapidly as the new buildings spring up from every piece of derelict ground, but the US Checkpoint still stands. It was never meant to be a permanent building, and yet it's outlived the massive Russian checkpoint complex that stood opposite, by several years, becoming somewhat of a curiosity to younger generations. Souvenirs stands surround it selling fake DDR and Soviet memorabilia, while older generations with longer memories look on in bewilderment, remembering when things were very different, not all that long ago.
