An already controversial display in Harrison is causing even more uproar as the property owner who placed a Confederate flag on the side of the road added more elements to his display: toilets.
Residents said they were in disbelief earlier this month when they saw a Confederate flag with a “Welcome to Harrison, Ohio” sign off Harrison Avenue.
“What’s going on with Harrison? What’s Harrison really thinking? Are they trying to push people out of here?” lifelong resident Wayne Johnson told WCPO after he first spotted the sign.
Now, drivers have noticed 26 toilets added to the display — some with the words “Council,” “Clerk” and “Mayor” written on them.
“If he’s trying to get attention, he’s doing a really great job at it,” Corey Taylor said.
That’s not the only display. A smaller Confederate flag, sign and group of toilets sit on the other side of the property, too.
