Close to where I live there was a huge American Flag and now it is gone but the pole is still standing. There was nothing wrong with it and it was in really good shape etc so there was no reason to take it down.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this around where you are?
Noticed unattended flagpoles?
no but I’ve sure noticed a lot of small mexican flags on cars here in Los Angeles!!!!
It got dark?

Yep. But they’ve mostly been absent because they’re out of the World Cup. Here in Hollywood, it’s mostly the “conscientious” mexicans with their mex flags combined with Laker flags...like that’s going to FN convince me of their patriotism.
Stand by for the U.N. flag to be hoisted.
Find out who owns the flag/or the pole - and complain because the flag was taken down.
It might be something as simple as it needed to be cleaned or something.
Maybe stolen? Happened twice to a local business in a small town. No one has been charged. Those big flags must weight a ton.
You must be a newbie ..??
Maybe the flag is owned by an Obot who is adding 7 stars to it.
More than likely they took it down because it was too big to fly at half mast because of KKK Byrd kicking the bucket.
I think it would be hard to steal where it is. It is on a main road with a hotel on one side and a convenience store/gas station on the other but I guess it could possible, and you are right they must weigh a ton.
I already asked the workers at the convenience store and the concierge at the hotel but they are not management so maybe they dont know.
I have one more place to check it might be owned by a large apartment complex.
“Maybe the flag is owned by an Obot who is adding 7 stars to it”.
...LOL! It does take time to sew those little buggers on!
Did it look like a dark spot near the sun...like a host?
Or maybe they just didn’t feel like flying their flag at half-mast for someone like Byrd.
I noticed a car dealer near where I live who is known to be conservative stopped flying the American flag and started flying the Texas flag instead.
If they bought it at Dollar Tree it might have had 61 stars
The ‘garrison flag’ still flies high and proud on South Cushman in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Mine is up, as always. Only house in the neighborhood that seems to fly one. Never got that. Our house always had one growing up, my mom still has one on her house.
Our flag flies 24/7. It never gets dark in the summer, and in the winter we have a security light right beside the flag. The flag is never in darkness.
Can you believe that even with all those extra stars, it still only costs a buck?!!
lol
I’m going to Michael’s tonight to stock up on 4th of July decorations. You’ll be able to see my porch from space, lol!
“You’ll be able to see my porch from space, lol!”
Anyone know how to attach a flagpole holder to vinyl siding? Our new house is vinyl and we’re afraid to put nails in it and we’d like to get the flag flying before 7/4. We’re thinking that a free-standing flagpole may be in our future.
I rigged a small spotlight for mine.

Too funny.
I saw a business down the road from where I live. They put up a sign recently, “YOU CAN TAKE OUR FLAG BUT YOU CANNOT TAKE OUR PATRIOTISM”.
So apparently, they too had their flag stolen (I see an empty pole).
61 stars now..
Dollar Tree sells US flag with 61 stars (KVUE.COM ^ | 28 JUNE 2010 )
This one is on a main road with heavy traffic and I thought the same thing. At night the traffic is light and about half the land is developed.
Yes that is what it made it so weird. There are cops all over the area so how could it happen??
