'This Flag is Not Coming Down. You Can Fine Me All You Want'; City Relents"Today at our planning session the city council voted unanimously to direct staff to develop an ordinance to allow the flag at Camping World to fly. It should never have come to this but thankfully our beautiful American flag will continue to fly." - Mayor P.J. Connelly, via X
[Earlier]: [ToddStarnes.com] Marcus Lemonis, the chief executive officer of Camping World, has a message for the city council in Greenville, North Carolina: the flag ain't coming down. "The flag is not coming down. You can fine me all you want City of Greenville North Carolina," Lemonis wrote on X. City leaders ordered Lemonis to remove the super-sized version of Old Glory that has become a signature look for all of Camping World's stores. But the city says the flag is too big and violates their zoning laws. To be exact it's 15 times larger than the size that's allowed. So far, Camping World has racked up more than $1100 in fines. And every day the Old Glory flies—the dollar amount goes up. Lemonis says he's a proud immigrant and he flies giant American flags to convey his deep love for his adopted country. "I happen to be an immigrant," he said. "I was given the blessing of being able to enter this country and become a citizen, and I'm grateful for it." He said he will never take down the flag no matter how much they fine Camping World. He even created a hash tag that is now trending on social media: No American Flag is Too Big.
