Re: It's been a while
Rhett,
If you are a coke junkie, then you are going to love this. That wall is
3 miles from my house in Cartersville Ga. It also is the very first bit of
outdoor advertising that Coke every did and that wall was painted on the
Young Brothers Pharmacy in the late 1800's. Coke sends a crew out once a
year to rejuvinate the wall where needed and the Pharmacy is still owned by
the Young family (though Coke keeps trying to buy it). The first half of
the Pharmacy is a Coke collectables area and the building itself is an
official landmark.
If you ever just have to make the trip down to get a pic of that wall,
give me a yell, we can put ya up for however long you want to stay.
William
