Main Street and Flags, Flags, Flags — ca. 1917
Find the flags! (click for larger image)

This is a cool photo. I have no idea if it was taken anywhere around July 4th, but I post it today because today is July 4th, AND I see 5 — possibly 6 — American flags in this photograph of Main Street. The patriotism displayed here may have more to do with World War I than Independence Day, but why not post it on the 4th of July?
Enjoy the holiday!
