There are sections of the wall preserved in museums and public building all over the world. There are also several original sections of the wall still in place. Ironically, Germany had to build a steel-fence several feet in front of the remaining wall sections to prevent tourists from chipping away pieces of the wall as souvenirs.
Hey there everyone! Yikes about the Mclaren recall.
Ironically, I just this weekend put together my registry and was researching all of the safety/ease of use ratings for all of the gear I was picking.
Overpriced Mclarens (which everyone and their cousin suggested I get) didn’t fair nearly as well as the moderately priced Graco strollers in the safety and ease of use categories. I’m going with the Graco.
The other odd standout- The cheapo $159 Ikea crib killed the competition in safety ratings.
-shilling for the Olympics? Yes!!!! I’ll bring Michelle along too!!!!
-joining other world leaders to commemorate a remarkable milestone in the advancement of freedom? Nah, too busy.
Let’s also not forget:
-receiving the Dalai Lama at the White House, as every US President has done for the past 20 years? Nah, don’t want to get the Chinese government upset.
-one week later, slap a heavy tariff on imported low-priced Chinese tires, to please the boys at the AFL-CIO.

There’s a very large piece of the wall on East 53rd St or somewhere near there close to 5th Ave

Excellent point. I would have liked to follow the “Berlin Wall Reno” blog too.

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
One of the best lines in a speech ever.
