History meets art: Suwanee's Berlin Wall temporary exhibit

History meets art: Suwanee's Berlin Wall temporary exhibit

SUWANEE, Ga. -- It’s a piece of concrete. It’s a piece of art. It’s a piece of history. It’s a section of the Berlin Wall, and it currently is standing in front of Suwanee’s City Hall at 330 Town Center Avenue.

This iconic symbol of the Cold War era stands approximately 13 feet tall and weighs 8,000 pounds. The once-western-facing side of the concrete section features graffiti artwork that depicts a building, people, and the American flag. The wall section is anticipated to be on display in Suwanee over the next couple of months while the Auction Management Corporation prepares to auction off the four-ton historic/artistic marker.

DragonCon co-founder runs up medical bills in jail

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- The co-founder of DragonCon, Edward Kramer, is due in Gwinnett County Superior Court for a 9 a.m. bond hearing on child molestation charges that were filed more than a decade ago.

In January, Kramer was brought back to Gwinnett County from Connecticut, where police said he violated the terms of his bond by staying in a hotel room with a 14-year-old boy. 

He was arrested in 2000 on child molestation charges involving three underage boys but was able to delay his trial by claiming health problems, including a painful spinal condition.  

Gwinnett jail officials confirm they've already paid close to $29,000 for his medical care since January alone.

He has also filed more than 200 special requests for religious materials and access to a typewriter to help with his legal case.

His defense attorney, Brian Steel, did not return our request for comment yesterday.
