It took Asheville-based artist Scott Allred two weeks to return the Coca-Cola ghost mural on the side of 122 E. Main St. to its former glory, a feat that began by sealing off key portions of the 100-year-old artwork and then painting on top of it. The project was funded in part by America’s largest Coca-Cola bottling company, Coca-Cola Consolidated, as a “nod to Charlottesville and Coca-Cola’s past but also … a shared vision for a vibrant downtown for our customers and consumers,” says Wayne Tyree, Coke Consolidated’s Community Relations Manager for the Charlottesville area.
