Stopped at an intersection today in Philadelphia, I spotted these
confetti style flag banner things blowing in the wind at a car
dealership on the corner of Chestnut and 48th and I immediately had a
flashback of being a kid staring out the backseat window of our brown
station-wagon at the same exact scene, but in Detroit, MI, on one of
those wide "mile roads", where the car dealerships were streamed with
these flag banner things (do they have a name?). They haven´t changed in
30 years.
