Photo Fridays: Chunk of the Berlin Wall

Chunk of the Berlin Wall, photograph, 2008

This photograph is a piece of the Berlin Wall installed under the Western Avenue El Station in Chicago. The neighborhood, called Lincoln Square, is the old German enclave in Chicago and that's why it ended up in this location. People probably walk by every day on their way to work and don't even realize the little chunk of history in their midst.

i love this. I bet, looking at the chunk they chose, that many passers-by just think it's some graffiti wall.
