That is pretty cool. I have seen a few similar to that. Over on oldgas.com they have a FATW thread (found along the way) where people post stuff like this.

There is one like that outside of Houston (Galveston I think). I have a picture and will try to find it. I do not remember it having as old a logo (Relieves Fatigue) though.

As best as I can remember (5 years ago), it is on the harbor side - east end of the island.
Around 15th Street to 30th Street b/t Avenues B and D (I cheated with mapquest).
It is not a big city - you'll find it.
The building was on the SE corner with the CC facing West

Great picture Joey. It's evident that there has been a building standing very close to this one, protecting that paint for so long.
It was not often that Coke would overlook flaws in their trademark but look at the second "C" in Coca Cola. Also advertising Coke for 5 cents unfortunately will lead to legal problems.
I wonder how long this great artwork can be displayed before the Coca Cola police step in and order it removed?

If you have a interest in old painted coke signs check out this news story from Lynchberg, VA TV station WSET. http://new.wset.com/news/stories/0507/426101.html Mc Bride Signs is repainting an old Coca Cola sign from 75 years ago. Enjoy, Larry |

Super! That is about 40 minutes from my parents' house. I may have to drive downtown and check it out. If I do I will get a picture.
