(A)pocrypha :: New Coke

The secret about Coca Cola's Secret Recipe isn't that nobody knows it. It's that Coke is the only company in the US with access to de-alkalized coca leaves, so they could write the recipe on the wall at World of Coke and it wouldn't hurt business.

Recipe for Coca Cola ::

Fluid extract of coca: 3 drams USP
Citric acid: 3 oz
Caffeine: 1 oz
Sugar: 30
Water: 2.5 gal
Lime juice: 2 pints, 1 quart
Vanilla: 1 oz
Caramel: 1.5 oz

Speaking of business, Coke was invented to replace alcohol when Atlanta went dry in 1886. During the Great Depression, Coca-Cola Company bailed the City of Atlanta out of bankruptcy.

Ghostlanta :: Peachtree Plaza Lagoon


In 1977, Atlanta didn't have a real aquarium yet but we temporarily had the tallest high rise hotel in the world. With a lagoon in the atrium.




But it makes sense for a city that keeps burning down to have a water fetish.

Ghostlanta :: Sawed-Off Skyscraper


Savannah banks off its historic buildings, but Atlanta builds and destroys them like Legos. Even buildings like the Dome become history if we can afford a better one, which makes Hillyer Trust Company's history even funnier.

1913

In 1911, The Hillyer Trust Company building was 8 stories high and the tallest, thinnest skyscraper in the US. By 1978, weather damage and underground blasting for MARTA had it swaying in the wind. But instead of burning or imploding like most ATL buildings die, they just razed the top six floors and put a bar in the basement vault.
