Towbin told to take down flag

Every couple days (on our way to Hash House a Go Go or Hooters), we drive by Towbin Hummer, a name made famous by Josh Towbin who appears as the Chopper in the “King of Cars” TV show and commercials “chopping” prices.

Next to the building, owned by his father Dan Towbin, is a large 30×60-foot flag flying 100 feet in the air.

Apparently some neighbors have complained about the flag during windy days, when it noisily flaps around. They’ve also complained about the size of the flagpole. They’re now ordering him to take it down.

Towbin says the flag shows his patriotism, but his neighbors say he’s exploiting it for commercialism.

We support Towbin and think this is going a little too far. We can think of several other nearby businesses that have flags, and one particular beverage company to the south actually has a 9/11 memorial. Is that using patriotism for financial gain?
