Friday Flags in Southington CT  Calendar House Senior Center

Around the corner from a listing of mine is a facility that always has a jammed parking lot. It's location is perfect as it is so close to 2 large 55+ senior housing complexes.

Calendar House on Pleasant St in Southington CT is a community gathering and resource center for 55+ adults in Southington CT.

It is an impressive building and just aside the main entrance stands a flagpole.

Seniors are a generation of people that truly recognize our nations banner and for those that have served, it gets an acknowledgement as they pass.

I am getting to believe that the flag guardians know my intent as it was a rather calm day and yet when I wanted a gust of wind, I got enough to allow the banner to unfurl and wave for me.

An image like this just makes me look a little harder to find and capture and share.

Good morning Edward and I too enjoy this Friday series about our American Flag. Out here in Golden Valley, the number of USA Flags flying are numerous even in areas that are not heavily traveled.

Ed, those of more mature years are very patriotic, and it shows in how they celebrate this country and honor our flag.

Wayne Martin   Thank you  I find myself really trying to find flags on commercial buildings and have not done anything with residential properties.

Nina Hollander, Broker   I had the same feeling and wasn't going to be fussy.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX   I see plenty on home sites, it's the commercial, business and pubic areas that get my attention.

 

Joan Cox   Thank you.  I hope the location brings me luck with the listing.

Leanne Smith   I do believe more people should fly the flag especially when one considers this is the one country in the world where citizenship is not a requirement to purchase.

George Souto   We seniors have a different feeling as many of us have either served or knew someone that did.

Agreed we seniors who have had spouses, children and other family members in the military do indeed have a different feeling.

Myrl Jeffcoat   Yes it does and they made sure to have a special area for it as well.

Thank you for the recognition.

Brian England   I am fortunate that I get a flag full furled so often.
