They hope to eventually restore the building and the mural. Maybe when the economy improves. They would be interested in a photo of the original mural to use for restoration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-22172916155201843742008-04-30T17:01:00.000-05:002008-04-30T17:01:00.000-05:00Hey Phil,THE archivist for Coca-Cola.

I think what you are doing is really neat. I know there are many intensely passionate collectors out there of Coca-Cola memorabilia. I hope they find your endeavor. They'd definitely love it.<BR/><BR/>If you get a chance, <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/exquisitelyboredinnacogdoches/sets/72157603219158156/" REL="nofollow">this is a collection</A> of Coca-Cola signage I've located in Texas.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335496287080742001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14231278.post-44090938857689375942008-04-29T09:09:00.000-05:002008-04-29T09:09:00.000-05:00Chris - I saw your photos of the old Coke mural an...Chris - I saw your photos of the old Coke mural and Sprite Boy ad and had to comment. I'm the archivist for The Coca-Cola Company and started my own blog (<A HREF="http://www.coca-colaconversations.com/" REL="nofollow">Coca-Cola Conversations</A>) in January. I write about Coke's heritage and history, but am also very interested in the role Coke plays in pop culture and everyday life. Murals certainly were part of American culture until the 1960s -- with our first mural in Georgia in 1894. It's great that the mural is still there and that you took the time to stop for it. Coke has a unique role in people's lives, and I think your post is an example of that. Though my blog is still fairly new, in the few months I've had it, I've talked about Coke collectibles, movies that feature Coke, recipes made with Coke and more. I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks -- PhilPhil Mooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038746155178059388noreply@blogger.com
