On this day in 1989...

...the Berlin Wall was opened. In the days that followed, it was broken apart with sledgehammers.

There's a piece of the Berlin Wall at Eureka College, Ronald Reagan's alma mater, not far from here.

Whatever your political leaning, it is a sobering experience to walk around to the back side--the side without the graffiti--to touch the blank concrete.

Hat tip to Cold Spring Shops for reminding us of the day.
