On the New Haven-East Haven border looms an American flag so large it flows through the air as if underwater, its red and white dyed with blue inertia even a dozen yards over solid ground.
You can find it at Dave McDermott Chevrolet, adjoining David McDermott Lexus. And whether you’re a Dave or a David, a lofty, gargantuan flag is a thing to behold on this high-minded and maximalist holiday, even if you have to wait for better weather tomorrow.
