Old Glory Taken Down, Mysterious White Flag Tops Brooklyn Bridge- Update- Solved | |
Sleeping Giant (OP) User ID: 543618 ![]() 07/22/2014 10:22 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A large white flag, possibly indicating a complete surrender to the forces of gentrification, has been spotted atop the Brooklyn Bridge. Several tipsters have sent us photos of the flag, which upon closer inspection appears to be a whitewashed or weathered American flag. So maybe it's America that's "over," not Brooklyn? One passerby, Rick Bruner, says, "I ride my bike over most every morning and the normal flags are not faded, so this is definitely something different. I didn’t know if it was for a protest or a movie?" [link to gothamist.com] Wake up, oh sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you |
