As time wears on, it seems that so many things get removed or replaced. Thus is the case for something special in Johnson City. I am full of mixed emotions as I drove past the Pepsi Bottle Cap Billboard just off the N. Roan Street Exit yesterday, and saw the big blue covering over it...stating that the sign will be changed.
Honestly, that has been a landmark of Johnson City for me. Years before I even moved here, I used to visit quite often. I always knew where I was in town because of that sign. Now, it is being updated, and many will never know it's unique welcome.
Typically, I am all for updates, but his time...I don't think so. Yes, Pepsi is the "choice of a new generation," but with all "ol' skool" things hitting the store shelves...I figured the sign would last, and even be considered cool by the "new generation." I must've been wrong.
Well, Pepsi Sign, we will miss you...I hope your update looks fabulous.
