Jane,
I think your email response only went to me (see below) and not the
rest of Grovenet.
And congrats on your Earth Day fund raising!

Yes, it is certainly beautiful. What I am wondering is who is raising
and lowering it? As a Navy vet, I am well aware that a flag cannot be
left up overnight without illumination (which is not yet installed).
Wrangling a flag that size up and down the pole (which is sandwiched
between two roads) is no small task.

BTW, my Earth Day event at Curves yesterday went very well and I raised
$35 for Animals Asia, which I think is great considering the tight
economic climate.

Without being able to talk w/the private entity that funded the entire
operation, we'll all just continue to guess as to why the flag is as
large as it is.
Personally, I find the flag very inspiring and beautiful. I realize
everyone's reaction can and possibly will be different. I'm just
hoping the ratio of supporters to objectors is greater than 1:1 and
that the ratio over time
will increase on the supporter side.
And as far as the cost for any upkeep and maintenance, I'm going
to lean on my belief the private funders probably offered to fund this,
or at lea
st our fair city leaders requested the private party do so if
the private party didn't offer in the first place.

Not to be "unpatriotic" or anything, but it strikes me as somewhat
like the burger-joint-chain gimmick of a few years ago-- when local
sign codes limited the size of their
signs, they just flew humungous
American flags to attract attention to themselves.
It is astonishing, even a bit overwhelming.
