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.

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/

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.

As a municipal planner, I love the solution. We get warm fuzzies when we can use our talent for bureaucracy to do something good. It helps make up for the politicians trying to get us to bend rules for developers.

I have never destroyed someone else's property.

I have absolutely fantasized about how I could pull off a flaming arrow, covert flagpole sabatoge, spray paint over cameras or signage, and similar for places that are so overly racist or evil.

I don't think I'll ever do it, since I'm more lawful neutral than chaotic good, but I value the people who are.

Ah, I haven't been to Atlanta yet this year so I didn't know that. Good riddance
