Raising the Pops bottle December 12, 2006

Jim Ross sent us some photos he shot Monday of the raising of the 66-foot-tall giant pop bottle and drinking straw that will stand near the Pops convenience store and diner along Route 66 in Arcadia, Okla. Pops is the brainchild of Chesapeake Energy CEO Aubrey McClendon.

Here are some shots of the pop bottle going up at POPS today [...] It took 5 hours to truck it from downtown OKC. Ultimately, it will be painted yellow and each ring will have a band of neon. Should be an awesome sight when finished.
For more background about Pops, go here. Pops should be open by summer.
Well after a week of hearing about sights being torn down and sold off it’s nice to hear about some development going on. Hopefully it’ll be open by the time I make my 66 trip next year!
Each ring will not have a band of neon. It will have a band
of LEDs, each capable of millions of possible colors………….
I live in Amarillo, TX and I will be there soon
