Baltimore's Song That Nobody Knows

 

The story of the song nobody knows: Baltimore City's "song" was written by a Sun paper reporter who wrote poetry on the side. The song was selected to be official by way of a contest. Today, few have heard of "Baltimore, Our Baltimore," and of those who have, few can sing it.

Gil Sandler was born and raised in Baltimore -- a circumstance he considers fortunate and one he does not want you to forget. He attended public school (P.S. #59, Garrison Junior High, Baltimore City College, Class of 1941) and then served in the United States Navy.
