    A black-and-white photograph showing a damaged or abandoned border crossing checkpoint of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (ČSSR). The scene depicts destroyed or dismantled border infrastructure with multiple signs still standing amid rubble and debris. The image likely dates from a period of political transition, possibly around 1989-1990 during the fall of communist regimes in Eastern Europe.

    Fort Knox

    A battered guardhouse stands in the middle of the road after being blown off its foundation by a customized motor coach. The checkpoint, part of the “Stripes” set, stood on the “Czechoslovakian” border before its celluloid demise. Columbia Pictures movie makers decided that a site on old Wilson Road, under the Illinois Central Gulf railroad trestle, would be perfect for the role of the communist country.
