LOL! Yeah, we visited Berlin in ‘62 and had the opportunity to cross over at Check Point Charlie into the east. As a 13 year old at the time, it certainly opened my eyes as to what I did NOT want to live like. The contrast from east to west in the 17 years since the end of the war was astounding. Went to a club called the RiziBar that had phones at each table so you could call another table if you wished. I have a Berlin map from back then that I had laminated showing the barbed wire and sector divisions.

Resi Bar. Magnificent art deco 20's/30's style "meetup" place. Great fun from another era. Loved it. Table to table telephones so you could pick (which babe) who you wanted to talk to. Alas, it closed and was demolished in 1978.
