Saw something really cool today...

I was driving into Boise, and right outside Meridian, going into Boise, a new Harley Davidson dealership just got finished and has opened up. I was a few miles away from it...but there in the distance, I saw one of the biggest American flags flying away that I have ever seen, on a really tall flag pole. I could see it from afar. At first I thought it was on one of the cranes that was involved with the new overpass construction, but, no, this was just beyond that at the Harley Davidson dealership. Nice thing is, I will get to see this everyday when I drive in. I don't know what it was about it that makes it so cool, but it sticks out for everybody to see that drives by on I-84. Just thought I would share.

For an anniversary of 9-11 a local business had a huge flag flying from crane on weekends, It was just off I-75. Yes it was spectacular to see.
I have a 5' X 8' American flag I fly in front of my house, I little bigger than most see on a house.

The Harley dealer just down the road from me has a huge flag too... that thing must be 100 feet by 60 feet easy. I tried to see if they had a picture of it on their website but they don't. All their commercials end "Under the Giant American Flag"

Edit: found a picture of it.

It's kinda hard to get a sense of scale and tell how big it is, because it's actually quite a ways back from the building.
