If you’re not from this part of the region there’s 2 things you should know. The traffic corridor it’s on has really high traffic as it’s one of the primary ways between major metropolitan areas in the region and that flag is fucking HUGE. It’s basically impossible to miss, it’s genuinely one of the largest flags I’ve ever seen in my life. So to call it a prominent feature is an understatement and it absolutely should be taken down
Unfortunately we’re in a drought and it was surrounded by trees. On the one hand, finishing what General Sherman started sounds like a great idea, but it also would cause a lot of pain for innocent people so there are good reasons not to go that route.
It was actually recently taken down, I’m local and heard the reason was something to do with it never actually having been properly permitted to be on the land it was on or something.
It’s been really nice to drive through that area and not spend the next 30 minutes fuming and plotting to shoot gallium-filled paint balls at the aluminum pole it was on.

What about burning down symbols of the south?
Those are part of the south, aren’t they?

They tolerate it they aren’t innocent.
Woah now, go too far and you end up no better, or worse.

Edit: Zoning and not obtaining proper permission for it to be that tall were the reasons it was removed. https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/2026/02/14/judge-orders-removal-of-confederate-flag-along-i-85/
