    Not Ernie's Lincoln



    2008-02-25 - Atlanta, GA - Photo By Linda Waggener.
    It's not Ernie Curry's Lincoln up on the roof, as was documented on Jamestown Street in Columbia back in 1997, however, I was reminded of it at the HardRock Cafe in downtown Atlanta where they hoisted the car pictured here onto the side of their building to draw attention. While Atlanta has a fine downtown plus the Georgia Aquarium, and it's a great place to go for a conference/ I'd still rather live in Columbia. The Columbia! Magazine article on Ernie's car art appeared in print Issue#14 of ColumbiaMagazine before it became a dot com publiction. You can view it in the archives. Click here to read about it. Clicking Read More Accesses the "Today, Tues., Feb. 26, 2008," feature.
