One of the traditions in Bay Ridge along the two shopping streets, 3rd and 5th Avenues, has been mounting flags, mostly American but also other nations, on thin metal poles, approximately 6 feet in height. One of these days I’ll do a more complete survey– the flags come and go — and you have to be there on a windy day, so the flags will extend in the breeze.
On the title card is the American and Spanish flags outside Sancho’s Spanish Restaurant on 3rd near 75th Street…
Here are the Turkish and Irish flags outside Aunt Halime’s Middle Eastern & Mediterranean Grocery and Yellow Hook at Ovington Avenue.
