Cory Doctorow posted this picture on BoingBoing this morning.
It’s a picture he recently took in Berlin of a curry stand that occupies the place where the Allied “Check Point Charlie” stood after Berlin was partitioned among the four main powers after WWII. As late as 2003, there was still a replica of the Check Point Charlie guard station on the site, but Capitalism marches on! (There’s still a museum right next door if you are interested in the history) Apparently Check Point Curry specializes in curry-wurst, which is pork sausage with curry sauce and is a traditional fast-food favorite among Berliners. No word on whether or not they serve jelly doughnuts.
