US Flag on Street Signs—Folcroft, Pennsylvania

In honor of Memorial Day 2019 we have a special type of vexilloid.  Street signs in their own right are flag like structures.  They have a pole, but instead of fabric they have metallic flag.  Likewise they signal territorial information.  

In Pennsylvania's Delaware County in the Borough of Folcroft they have chosen to include the US flag on the local street signs of the township.  Additionally it says God Bless America.  Historically Folcroft was first settled the same year the Netherlands conquerored New Sweden in 1655.


 At the intersection of Virginia Ave and Primos Ave you can see the flag of the United States, as it decorates each little street of the neighborhood.  

Folcroft's original Old English meaning is 'Leafy Fields' is a township in suburban Philadelphia.  A fine little community that keeps that is constantly blessing America.
