Got a piece of the Berlin Wall!

This past summer I went to Nova Scotia and got a piece of the Berlin Wall.

In Truro they have several segments of the wall (five, I think) and one was in poor condition. There were pieces falling off of it all around, so I thought that it'd be alright if I had myself a piece. There's no special markings on it, and as far as anyone knows, it's just a piece of some wall, but I know what it is, a piece of history!

Maybe I am a little out of date, so feel free to update me. How is it that you got a piece of the Berlin Wall in Nova Scotia?

Those pesky communists were everywhere!

Um, for some strange reason, someone thought that some town most people outside of the Atlantic Provinces haven't heard of was a good place to stick a few segments and a plaque. It was to promote international unity, if I recall correctly. Why they'd need to do that in a town of 11 765 I don't know.

I realise this is an old post, however I was reading and I wanted to point something out. In Montreal (Quebec, Can) we also have a piece of the Berlin wall. Its inside of the Centre de Commerce Mondial (World Trade Center.) Its a small piece heres a pic http://www.flickr.com/photos/blork/123324321/
