Having only moved to Berlin a little more than a year ago, it's hard to say what I would miss if I had to leave. I definitely like the Buddy Bears though and I'd be sad to live in a city that didn't have some cute kind of mascot like them. This dapper bear welcomes visitors to Rathaus Schöneberg. During the "divided days" it served as the Town Hall for the city of West Berlin. John Kennedy made his famous Ich bin ein Berliner speech right here on the building's front steps. Which brings up another thing I love about Berlin, all the history.
A new month is here - January seemed to fly by! For more interpretations on this month's theme click here.
The city's mascot. I'll have to scroll through your blog in search of other bears. Where were you previously? Did you do a daily photo site from your other community?

Just click on the tag at the bottom of the post for "Buddy Bears" and you'll see them all!
DeleteI did have other CDP blogs. The first was in Jackson, MS from 2007 - 2011 and then in Toronto from 2011 to 2014.
There's a link to Toronto on the sidebar.
Cool, I can relate to that- I wish Manchester's mascots of the busy bee were so well represented around mycity!
ReplyDeleteWe have a donkey in BCN...
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is a dapper fellow Hal, I'm not sure if Perth even has a mascot.
ReplyDeleteOh soooo cute. We should have that where I live as my country area is life Bears who roam and come and visit on our properties. .
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your mascot.
oh may a error. I mean live bears.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are fun mascots!
ReplyDeletethose bears are very entertaining. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your choice for the theme day. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you chose a Bär!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see this bear in all kinds of varieties. I like this one!
ReplyDeleteA good choice! Do you miss the moose from TO?
ReplyDeleteI liked to moose too! But mostly I miss the food in Toronto and just generally knowing the city. I had "my bar" and "my felafel place"... you know what I mean.
DeleteThat's what I would miss about Berlin--the history, not so much the bears. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like your choice for this theme day, so cute. Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Happy Theme day!
ReplyDeleteIf you do ever have to leave and think you'd miss the bears, come to Ocala, where we have horse sculptures on every other corner! :)
ReplyDeleteI do love those horses in Ocala!
DeleteCute:)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what a "newcomer" would choose. This handsome bear is perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteBears are nice mascots...if they're of the "teddy" kind. The live ones can be a little scary.
ReplyDeleteThe bear concept is a cute one. I like this example!
ReplyDeleteHow cute. :)
ReplyDeleteThose bears are real characters!
ReplyDeleteLove them.
ReplyDeleteCute bear!
