Karen, very nice capture ...
I especially like the juxtapostion of the old, faded sign and the new spray paint graffeti ...
Wonderful colours!

I love this, and yes, I'm a Coke drinker. Keep taking these shots, it's sad to think it might be gone soon.

Yes - catch this wonderful memorabilita before it comepletely fades away and we are stuck trying to explain in words only, how it used to be!

I used to be a Pepsi person, but the laundramat downstairs from my son's place had a machine with Coke for 50 cents a can and since it was convenient.... well, I'm a Coke drinker now...
super find and photo!

That good old universal sign...I bet they even recognize this on Mars :) I hate seeing original anything being replaced.

Good catch Karen, now you have a picture of what used to be there before the stucco. Hope you can get a shot of all the old signs around there.

I really like photos of these old signs. Here is one that I took at a local antiques show:
