This is the largest flag in the area (and just happens to be on the path to our favorite greasy spoon.) The flag itself measures 30 x 60 feet and weighs 100 pounds. The flag pole is 130′ tall, weighs 10,000 pounds and is secured with 60,000 pounds of concrete 13′ into the ground.
These pictures don’t do it justice. You can read more about it, and watch a pictorial of it being raised, at Ridge Road Station.
