   The Bromo-seltzer clock tower in Baltimore was so specific to the
   company that the 12 characters B R O M O S E L T Z E R are still
   on the face of the clock instead of numbers.  As a tall (for it's
   time), skiny building, its hard to find occupants.

   Yet somehow, the city could never get around to scrapping it, and has
   kept the clock running.  Last I heard, a private art museum was
   renting the first couple of floors.
