Fountain at Kanawha Plaza

This giant American flag is draped outside the Observation Deck on the 18th floor of City Hall. Mayor Dwight C. Jones had the nearly three-story banner unfurled from the top floor last week in response to a visit from the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Downtown. The flag, which reaches down to the 16th floor, is prominently on display on the Broad Street side of the building.

ONE GIANT LEAP- All eyes are on 3-year-old Gabrielle Ba as she sails through the air and down a slide. She and her playmates were having fun Saturday at the 2nd Annual Brookland Park Boulevard History Festival on North Side. The free community event attracted hundreds of people and included entertainment, a farmer’s market, health screenings and lots of food and fun. Please see additional photos on B1.
