In the hour you spent talking to the woman, did she say why they, or the bar owners, were flying the traitors' flag?

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: http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?product=2180 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. http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?product=2181 Interestingly, neither was a plain Confederate flag; both had things written on them! -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
