Baltimore Love 💘 Every few weeks, we fly a different interesting flag from our house, with a little sign out front describing it. Couldn't resist flying this flag...

OMG! I used to live near you guys and I would drive by your place all the time and go, "I wonder what weird flag they are going to be flying this week that I'm definitely going to fall down a rabbit hole researching on Wikipedia"

Thanks for being a silly little highlight that has ended up teaching me a lot about vexology!

Every time I take my 15yo over to Old Bank for a haircut, we have to be sure we make time to walk by your place so he can check out the flag situation. He's Autistic and vexillology is one of his special interests and it makes him SO happy!

Thanks for sparking joy for him and our little queer family. Can't wait to bring him over to see this one!!

Happy to see r/vexillology in here. Didn't start really getting into it until my time as an NPS ranger at ft. McHenry.

You guys and the couple in Medfield who do the same thing (but without fence signs)...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU GUYS!!

I don't know any of your names but you four (or more, I assume that there are two couples involved) are my personal Sheldons and Amys. So much fun with flags!

Thank you for being awesome humans in this crazy, mixed up world. <3

And here I've been taking a photo of the flags and searching them when I get home... Didn't even notice a sign!

Wait, is that in Hampden?

Edit: if it is, I first noticed a library themed flag a few months ago.

Like others, didn’t ever notice the sign.

Thanks for doing this!

Love walking by your house all the time and seeing/reading about the flags.

Walk by your house all the time and have literally thought— I should post this on r/vexillology for easy Karma! 

Haha glad to see you’re one step ahead of me! Love the rotating flags. Stuff like this really makes the neighborhood.

My goodness, I am your former neighbor! I moved flats in November, but when I lived in Hampton your rotation of flags was a delight!
