The Time The Bromo Seltzer Bottle Came Down

Baltimoreans in 1936, walking about downtown, could sense that there was something different about the city.

It didn't take them long to discover that the long-familiar skyline had suddenly changed. The big Bromo Seltzer bottle had been taken down off of its perch high atop the Bromo building on Eutaw Street, leaving the skyline configuration forever changed.

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.
