Viewpoint: Did Coca-Cola Build This city?
Friday, November 21st, 2014
Many Atlantans would argue that Coca-Cola built their city. Take a look around and Coke's imprimatur seems to be on everything in sight, from the Woodruff Arts Center to Emory University to the World of Coca-Cola. As a high school student at Woodward Academy in College Park, I passed the visage of Coca-Cola's boss, Robert Woodruff, everyday I entered the upper school's gates. The cigar-wielding statue of Woodruff was a constant reminder of Coke's contributions to my education.
