"One Bottle At a Time" Coca-Cola for 5 Cents




We visited the Coca-Cola Bottling Museum in Monroe, Louisiana.  In the 1950's My Uncle Hillhouse had a country store in Sixes, Ga. that had an old Coca-Cola machine like the one in the museum.  I remember paying 5 cents for a bottle.  You can still pay 5 cents for a bottle if you travel to Monroe, Louisiana and visit the museum.

Black Bayou - Monroe, Louisiana

We stayed in Monroe, Louisiana during the July 4th weekend.  We took the opportunity to visit the wildlife Refuge at Black Bayou Lake.  It was my first experience to see a Louisiana Bayou.  The largest lily pads I have ever seen.
