You say you won't watch a 6 minute video about a flagpole?

When it's 400-foot tall, weighs approximately 420,000 pounds and was built by patriots, yes, you should.

See link for Flagpole Facts.

This is one very serious flagpole.

the flagpole and the flag flying is great to see from the 1-43 freeway. Just saw it two weeks ago.

How long until someone complains that it makes non Americans feel really, really uncomfortable and demands the flag be taken down?

That was worth every second of the six minutes.

It looks like the flag is hoisted along the helix tracks running around the pole’s exterior. I wonder if they illuminate it and keep it flying 24/365? I would, just imagine the chore of a daily raise & lower!

The flag alone would be a significant cost and imagine the decision cycle for replacing it as being too worn! Lots of pride and responsibility for Acuity - Kudos!
