A lot of people here probably weren't born or don't remember , but the 25 year celebration of the Berlin wall coming down is tonight ....im 1/4 german my grandmother was german had sisters and brothers on both sides of wall ,I remember her sending care packages to the east when I was a kid . And when she went to visit right before she passed , the pictures of the difference in quality of life between her relatives in the west and the east were staggering
the east was desolate , Barron , she was only able to go cause she was german we were worried then for her , she died before they tore down the wall missed it by 3 months , I always felt sad for that . Her sister and brother missed the cutoff point of living i. The west by 10 miles , and the diffetence was like a million miles ....why bowies song heroes always means more to me , when REAGAN said tear down this wall I thought it was a pipe dream I went there in the 80 s and saw it , told my grandmother how weird it was m I couldn't go to the east , she was able to , they took her pictures when she crossed to the west , all but the family ones .....
To those of us today that seems crazy m never thought this would happen , yet 25 years later it seems like yesterday , makes me miss my grandmother , I don't tell many people im part German , I don't know why , im not ashamed

It's weird the world acts like it was 100 years ago, but take Woodstock that was 20 years before the wall came down. Everyone thinks it was yester-years with Woodstock, but not with the wall. the hoff was there

I'll be in Berlin in a couple of hours by train from where I live, yet haven't been there yet and it seems far away than it is.
Reuniting of East and West Germany was partly thanks to Gorbachev. Wish they have someone like him than the idiot they have now.
