14 Jul Travel Photo Thursday | Coca Cola Building
Today’s photo is a little different. It started as a mystery. A couple of months ago, I was at work and I happened to look across the street and saw the weirdest thing ever! It seemed as if one of the buildings was wrapped in a sock!
After ascertaining that it was the Coca-Cola Building (it’s headquartered here in Atlanta), I had to do a little digging. I discovered that they were actually huge projection screens that had been installed to celebrate a milestone anniversary….their 125th!! Wow, had it been that long since Dr. John Pemberton created that wondrously frothy beverage laced with 9 mg of cocaine? My…..how time flies!! Anyways….they were planning something big. And it looked like this:

Posted at 14:21h, 14 JulyThat is SO COOL! Is it up still or was it just for a day? (I’m going to Atlanta for a weekend in August to visit my best friend who moved there so want to see it.) Very cool shot and video.
