Flag with Local Theme

Again, in honor of the week of July 4th Independence Day, I'm posting a flag, but this one has local "color" in that it's outside a fish market. Living so close to the coast, we have many local stops for fish and shrimp and sometimes other seafood. This one is between our town of Calabash and the town (county seat) of Shallotte. It is pronounced SHA LOTE with no emphasis on the final E. I read the town was previously named Charlotte (the real one is North Carolina's largest city), and I suspect the word Charlotte was translated into the local dialect to say SHA LOTE. Thanks again to those of you who made such nice remarks about the flag reflection on MonoMonday.
