Capron

The story from http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=topics.heraldry&m=775:
"The town of Capron has never had a flag, logo or seal. The town council is now looking for someone to design a crest. Founded in 1888 in rural Virginia, Capron remains today much as it has since it became a town. [Previously Capron was called the Princeton Territory]. This is a tiny community of farmers. Farming is not only a way of life, but it has been handed down through the generations and the same families struggle to feed the nation. Population of about 140 people, we are a proud community. We have no grocery store, no restaurant or doctor. There is no hotel or movie house. We have the feed store [also built in 1888] a gas station, small post office and 3 churches.
If interested in helping us to create our town crest, please contact Maureen before May 10, 2004."

Leesburg

Leesburg Today in Virginia (US) is reporting that the town of Leesburg is considering a town flag. The proposals by Councilman Robert J. Zoldos feature the town hall surrounded by a circle. Ten possible color combinations are under consideration. If the idea appeals to the rest of the town council, Councilman Fernando J. Martinez is proposing that there be a flag contest.

Norfolk

The municipal flag was very prominently displayed on public buildings and on the stages of the school auditoria in the three schools which I attended in that city. As I recall, it consisted of a navy blue (i.e., very dark blue) flag with a horizontal gold stripe running through the middle of the flag. In the centre of this stripe was the municipal seal, which is very striking. On either side of the seal were the words 'City of (seal) Norfolk, Virginia' in black Olde English lettering. The blue and gold colours were chosen to reflect the city's historic traditions with the navy - before 1776 with the Royal Navy and after that with the USN.
