I remembered I took a picture of this one in Richmond two summers ago. It's a small one.

They remodeled a 5 story building at the end of the downtown area where I live and the guy had a crane come out and take down a coca cola sign that was from about 1952. It had the old light bulbs to light it up inside the letters that were 14 ft tall x 40 ft long and after he took it down he tried to sell it for 20000 and had no takers . It was in news paper and he said he did not know what to do with it . I ask him if he had thought about putting it back where it belongs but he did not want to because coca cola would not restore it for him . What a shame.

We are visiting western NC and I took these in the town we are staying in. One is Orange Crush. The Coca Cola one is interesting. It could be seen on the wall of a basement shop. I tried to get the photo as best I could.

Did you visit the Big Bend National Park? I tried to go one time, but is FAR out of the way! I realized 3 hours into it that I wasn't going to have the time and aborted....still on my bucket list of National Parks! Time is always a major issue! |
