You Know You Live in Atlanta When…Coca-Cola Is Art

Vintage Coca-Cola Ad on Grocery Store

Just up the street from my house there’s a music venue called “Grocery on Home” – and they have the coolest vintage ad for Coca-Cola on their building. It’s art.

It’s kind of crazy to think how a soft drink built so much of Atlanta, but it did. For all its faults, the Coca-Cola brand is *it* around Atlanta. Our art museum even celebrated 100 Years of the Coke Bottle in an art exhibition. Oh – we also have an entire museum dedicated to Coca-Cola.

Sometimes I’m not sure whether to be proud or weirded out. I guess sometimes you have to sell out.

    Around Murray’s Lake in the Chattahoochee National Forest, the beavers have completely taken over. The wetlands upstream from the (man-made) lake have a series of dams with old lodges and lots of fallen trees. It’s so cool to see in person.

  • Honeybees Working Hard

    Bees are such a win-win-win. These hives are in a clearing in Smithgall Woods State Park. They are maintained by Ally Bees Honey (who I highly recommend for local Georgia honey). They pollinate the wildflowers, native plants, and wildlife food plots…all while creating so much extra honey.
