Confederate battle flag raised over Orange County

HILLSBOROUGH  Months of talk, rumor and gossip turned to action this weekend when a Confederate battle flag rose above Orange County.

The mammoth flag flies high over U.S. 70 – a well-traveled highway through this liberal county, home to UNC-Chapel Hill, 10 yoga studios, three Weaver Street Market natural food stores and an alpaca farm.

Whether the flag will be allowed to remain may be determined by the Orange County Board of Commissioners. The board is set to hear the public's comments regarding proposed changes to sign rules May 15 at the Southern Human Services Center at 2501 Homestead Road in Chapel Hill.

The amendment to the unified development ordinance could prohibit flags over 24 square feet, flagpoles over 24 feet in height or flagpoles taller than a property owner's main roof.

  8. stop romanticizing a failed attempt at secession. and stop trying to use it in an attempt to justify your hate. most of you boneheads don't even know the causes of that horrible war and your comments and attitudes make people take offense. Hell, I am offended by your stupidity.
