1st impression, WHY is everyone just throwing on their car flashers on a BUSY street and just hanging out? Literally stopping an entire lane of traffic, and get this NO ONE is honking.
We’re Definitely not in NYC. Is this considered southern hospitality?

We parked the car at the first meter we saw and hit the pavement to
Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower.

 
I’m easily impressed for the most part, but not easily awed.
The clock room at the top of this historic building, AWED me. 

Built in 1911 by Captain Isaac Emerson, the inventor of  a “headache remedy.” The clock room, is a unique place were you can be in time with the World’s Largest 4 dial, gravity driven non-chiming clock.

There we were high above a new city, afternoon sunlight streaming through a legendary clock, aligned with time in a truly magical moment.

I understand why working and emerging Baltimore artists, find creative inspiration within its walls, which include 25 studios and 3 gallery spaces.
