Mr. LoBaido has a few claims to fame according to his website, such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/scottlobaido.com\/the-flag-project\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;World&#8217;s Largest Flag&#8221; painting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bismarckmandanblog.com\/images\/scott_lobaido_11477.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center>I don&#8217;t really know what to say about the foil-covered manikin, other than that the flag it&#8217;s holding is a little tattered and in need of retirement. I sure do appreciate a good patriotic gesture, though, and I&#8217;m glad to see Old Glory every time I see her wave. Thanks to this colorful artist, that&#8217;s a sight more likely to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After enjoying an AMAZING bacon cheeseburger with my beautiful wife on a date night earlier this week, I came out to the parking lot to see this colorful beast adorning the parking lot.
