Yes, and Yes.

I live in the "Tierra Del Sol" area. CDD 1. Nothing in there about crosses. Or lawn ornaments in general. Can't have any "signs or other advertisements". Pink flamingoes are okay. Menorahs are ok. Must have toilets.

And Tierra del Sol is in a district that restricts them.

Hmmm.... Sure about that?

There is a home on Madero Drive ( Village of Santo Domingo) that has them on his front lawn for free. Travel North on Morse, turn into the Village of Santo Domingo ( it will be on the left). Once on Madero Drive the house will be on the right. Sorry I do not know the house number.

Well a couple of houses have them in my area although they are deed restricted, no one has reported them so far... but they keep some people at a distance.

They also remind me of the crosses the KKK used to intimidate people.

If you are not in an area with those restrictions, you are probably ok .

I drove up to Chapel Hill, NC in 1986 to pick up a custom bike I had ordered at Performance Bike Works. After you leave I-95 there was a good distance to travel on a 2 lane country road and then all of sudden you're in Chapel Hill. What was amazing was about a mile before the town there must of been a 20' tall cross in flames, like it had just been lit. It was pitch black outside but that cross should caught my attention. I don't think I would mistaken these little crosses for one of those.

Actually on my street I think I'm the troublemaker for not having one. More than half the villas on my block have a cross. When they first started a couple of years ago, I had no clue what it was about, like some have said, I thought someone had died until I started seeing more and more.

If they bother you, then don't own one. Christians do not see it that way. Christians are reminded that Christ gave his life for them, so that they might have salvation and forgiveness for their sins. Christians look at the cross in a positive way. Heathens and (vampires:) ) fear the cross for what it represents.

Go to the Village Wood shop. That is where they are made.

How do you feel about Satinists putting their symbols in the yard next door, maybe a large Budda , Or some kind of Atheist stuff. ? Really would like you to share your thoughts with us all. We may learn something .

Hahaha

There's a house on Madero close to Morse Blvd that usually has several in their yard for people to have.

They freak you out.? Really? You must crash your car passing a grave yard! The white cross doesn't always mean death.

Skunky1 04-06-2020 05:48 AM

I believe Home Depot and Lowe’s are still open. I’m sure they have the wood that is necessary to make the cross and the paint necessary to paint the cross. where do you plan to put the cross? More important what does the cross represent to you?
