A small piece of world history here in the Upstate

 Drivers on business I-85 in Spartanburg county are probably unaware of the important piece of history a local industry has on display at the front of their campus facing the interstate. 
 
 
Here on display are two large pieces of the Berlin Wall.  The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin.

The wall was demolished in 1989.
