I was there the day the Brandenburg Gate was opened.  We went all 
over town looking for hammer and/or chisels but all of the hardware 
stores had sold out.  We finally bought some on the street and my 
kids chiseled off huge chunks of the wall that we still have around 
here somewhere.  I have the photos around here somewhere, too 
;-)  Air pollution was so bad at that time that you couldn't breathe 
or see.  Has that improved?
