I was taking a short-cut last week to avoid a traffic jam when I spotted this vintage Coca-Cola sign but couldn't stop so I headed back this week to get a pic! It is in surprisingly good shape and hasn't been tagged like the top of the building next door but the really good Thai restaurant which was beside it is now gone and I think more condos are coming to this space so it may disappear from sight.

a great find.
That old Coke sign is a classic worth your effort to get this fine photo.
That does look vintage
I try not to drink too many soft drinks but I did enjoy a Coca Cola yesterday afternoon after a particularly long meeting. Great looking sign.
At least you manage to capture it before it does, possibly, disappear!
Cool. Whenever I see an old Coke sign I start to sing the old jingle.
You never know Pat, Coke signs seem to stick round much longer than most. There's a huge one in Kings Cross Sydney that's been there forever! Nice find.
Nice find! I like the old coca-cola logo :)
A "classic." :-)
Glad you went back.... Whoever gets the sign when the building is demolished has something worth money I expect. Coca-Cola stuff is so collectible.
Truly vintage and classic.
Nice one!
a real classic!
frankly my dear
Nice find RedPat!
A shame if it does vanish!
Wow! That one is in good shape. I really hope it doesn't go away.
The real question is how the heck did the taggers get up there to deface the other building?
Great looking sign.
Great catch, P

It's in good condition! More condos? REALLY??? Hmmmm.
Photographing coco cola signs through out the years would make a great project, they have changed so much
Fabulous!
Will continue for many more years;)
Maybe that will be the view out of someone's bedroom window!
I like these old signs - but they are often hard to get a good picture of because of other buildings.
Nice.
