Title: Awesome Coca Cola painted wall Post by: coke_and_stuff on August 01, 2007, 07:34:44 pm I found this in TN this week, about an hr north of Nashville on a back road. Im guessig was painted during the teens or twenties.

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.

Joey Title: Re: Awesome Coca Cola painted wall Post by: collecture on August 06, 2007, 07:58:54 am 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 Title: Re: Awesome Coca Cola painted wall Post by: MoonDawg on August 06, 2007, 10:30:14 am 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? :glare: Title: Re: Awesome Coca Cola painted wall Post by: sodaworks on August 06, 2007, 10:34:00 am Wow, That's awesome!! That should be restored!!

Enjoy, Larry Title: Re: Awesome Coca Cola painted wall Post by: halehouse on August 06, 2007, 09:16:28 pm 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.
