American Flag

16 years ago

Read on CNN that some states are requiring that all flags flown in schools and goverment buildings are to be "MADE IN AMERICA" I think that is awesome!

I think government buildings should also set a good example and use low maintenance native grasses and plants for their landscaping.

Businesses, too. I hate driving through the industrial park and seeing water spewing into the air from grass sprinklers at 4 PM. Every day.

Hmmm...lots of possibilities-place with huge US military presence, allies, places from which many of our folks originated, a place with lots of ex-pats???...I'm thinking. Will pick one as a pure guess in a bit. Wondering if it could be Iraq, China (now that would be doubly ironic), Canada (so, Annette and Nancy, how many US flags do you see in your neighborhoods? heehee), maybe India or Japan...phew. Spin the globe with eyes closed... Good question, TM.

Hanging a Flag from Front Porch

Since you're worried about damage to the columns (as I would be), I would just find another way to display the flag. Otherwise, we can't advise because we don't know what material the columns are made of. Could be column wraps over a structural support. Might be plastic, fiberglass, aluminum... and probably not advisable to hang anything off of.

American flag- where to buy?

Ours is this one , given to us as a housewarming gift by our realtor. There was a permanent pole installed in the driveway island bed at the house. I've replaced it twice in 8 years, so three flags over almost 8 years time. We're coastal and do experience a fair amount of wind....how much wind in your area should help you determine if you want nylon, or poly, or which fabric.

Well that can happen even with native low maintenance grasses. That just means someone needs to have a word with the person setting up the irrigation.
