And it's not a new building in Brazil, but maybe a better looking one.
The Alabama Bar and Grill on East National Avenue unveiled some new wall art - a retro Pepsi design painted on the side of the building.
Owners got the idea about a year ago, and have spent the past few months putting on the finishing touches.
On Friday, city officials awarded the owners a certificate of appreciation, for their contributions to the beautification of Brazil.
"No pun intended they kind of reset the bar of what buildings may look like here in the future. We wanted to recognize them for it, they're a very important part of our community," said Mayor Brian Wyndham.
Alabama Bar & Grill Owners Ray Allen & Kelly Market added: "Compared to what it did look like, it's great. It's just beautiful. It's fantastic."
The wall will be a major feature of this year's street party. The 10th annual event kicks off tomorrow evening.
