Subject: [Leica] Confederate Flags in Fort Wayne

Last week, one of my photos of a man with a giant American flag on his front
porch brought out mention of the Confederate flag in the discussion. I don?t
see Confederate flags often in Fort Wayne. Yesterday, however, I found TWO,
right across the street from each other.

I was on my way to photograph something else in the neighborhood, when I
spotted this flag behind a house:

I spent an hour or so talking to the woman who owns the house and her
boyfriend. She told me that if I was interested in the Confederate flag, I
should go into the bar across the street, the Hitch-In-Post Tavern. She
walked over with me and introduced me to the manager, and I photographed
their flag.

Interestingly, neither was a plain Confederate flag; both had things written
on them!
