There’s a flag pole right there in the intersection of Myoma and Douglas Streets, like some sort of skinny traffic calming measure. (I didn’t see any other cars when I was there, but I did feel pretty calm, so maybe it works on people if there’s not un-calm traffic in the vicinity. Who knows. Traffic engineering is a complicated proposition.)

There were also two balloons, sagging with age, tied to the pole.
