This current event prompted some deep thoughts like: 'Provo has a city flag?' 'Do other cities have city flags?' 'Is it cool to have a city flag?' Turns out, having a city flag is a trend and not just in the United States. Cities around the world represent themselves on a piece of cloth and fly it high and proud. But should they? Below you'll find a smattering of US city flags, both successes and failures.
