Coca-Cola Ghost Sign - Cookeville
About a month ago, directly across the street from my office, a couple of guys started tearing the 'stucco' off this wall.  As I went out later in the day, this 'Ghost Sign' had started to appear.  At the end of the day, it was fully uncovered.  Turned out to be my favorite type of 'ghost sign'...Coca-Cola!  I also think the letters across the top spell 'Builder's Supply Co.&quot; which is a local construction supply business in Cookeville, TN.  I've heard that the plan is to restore this sign and preserve this great piece of history...I sure hope so!!

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix to create this HDR image.  Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

&quot;For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&quot;  ~Jeremiah 29:11
