The flag flies high
Quick story, I inspected a certain hotel today in Culver City near the Culver Studios. The building was built in 1924 and has a quite a history. While walking the building, looking at old pictures. I noticed a few pictures of the hotel from back in the day (thats sometime ago). The pictures show a flag mounted on the large flagpole on the roof. Today, no flag. When I got to the roof, what do I see? An American flag rolled up and shoved in a bucket.
My co-worker and myself unrolled it from it's ball, hooked it on the rope, and up it went.
So any locals, driving by the hotel, you know the one, look up and smile, the flag is back. God Bless America.

Maybe you should let the local news station know about this. Nice human interest story.
