College Hill Sundries, seen above, is a libation-intense bar located at the corner of S. Mendenhall and Spring Garden Streets, between two college campuses (UNCG and Greensboro College). Close proximity and bargain prices are the priorities for many of their patrons. We took this photo, however, to feature the advertised drink, Pepsi Cola. 

Pepsi was first made and served in the 1890’s by North Carolina pharmacist, Mr. Caleb Bradham. Unfortunately Greensboro was not the birthplace of Pepsi. New Bern, NC has that distinction. To see a photo and an original painting of the very corner building where Pepsi was first served, please visit this blog entry of Bernie Rosage, Jr., North Carolina artist and fellow blogger. 

Finally, if you stop by College Hill Sundries to admire this sign, walk across the street and visit Greensboro’s latest vintage home and garden store: Adelaide’s Corner Cottage.
