It could also be a St. Petersburg code violation.Its probably someones version of the American dream.
A charming house on a quiet street in a safe neighborhood, where the neighbors know each others names. Shady canopy of oak trees, white picket fence, gigantic Trump 2020 painted directly on the roof.
Two weeks before a presidential election, its no surprise weve reached peak candidate-yard-sign density in St. Petersburg.
But one home in the Euclid St. Pauls neighborhood has cranked it up a notch with support for President Donald Trump displayed in bright white letters, 20 feet wide.
The neighborhood is in a precinct that voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and is currently dominated by yard signs for Democratic candidate Joe Biden. One neighbor across the street displays a sign with a row of Black power fists in rainbow colors. Another has posted in their window, that in this house, we believe, Black lives matter, womens rights are human rights and science is real.

Geeze, the only way to get rid of that mess is to totally replace the shingles.

Wow! Was everyone rich in those days? Throwing toilet paper on a yard?
