Coca Cola and Home Depot colaborate to give gift to their home city. "In a surprise development Wednesday, the Coca-Cola Co. said it would donate nine of its 20 acres next to Centennial Olympic Park for the Georgia Aquarium -- creating a major entertainment destination and ending speculation about the future of the prime downtown site.The beverage giant also will relocate its World of Coca-Cola attraction from Underground Atlanta to the site. The attractions, to open simultaneously in 2005, will share parking and be connected by a plaza."
