Refreshing Sight: Former Coca-Cola Ad Draws Attention

By Eric Tichy 1 min read
A former Coca-Cola advertisement in Jamestown is drawing plenty of attention, both from passing motorists and on social media. The former ad is on a building located at the intersection of West Eighth Street and Fairmount Avenue. Until recently, the once colorful promotion featuring a bottle and the slogan “Drink Coca-Cola” was behind a fixed billboard on the building. Several people have shared photographs of the Coca-Cola image, while the remnants of other advertisements can also be seen. It’s not clear what plans are in store for the ad or the building. In April 2004, The Post-Journal ran a photo of a man replacing a series of panels on the building. At the time, it was reported that the ad originated in the 1960s. P-J photo by Eric Tichy
