A couple who runs a bed and breakfast near Lansing, Michigan, removed a display of the Norwegian flag after passersby repeatedly mistook it for the Confederate battle flag.
According to the Lansing State Journal, Greg and Kjersten Offenbecker took down the Norwegian flag adorning The Nordic Pineapple, a bed and breakfast they run out of their home in St. Johns, Michigan, about 24 miles north of Lansing. The stately Civil War-era house was built by a Union brevet general in 1861 and sprawls over nearly 9,000 square feet. Kjersten Offenbecker’s grandfather was born in Norway, and the establishment is named for her Norwegian heritage.
