“This is happening throughout the lighting industry everywhere,” said Robert M. Kaye, a longtime employee of the Triangle Sign Company in Halethorpe and now a consultant there. Triangle installed the original Domino sign once it had been fabricated by the Artkraft Strauss company of Manhattan.
One of the last prominent neon signs produced by Triangle was the winking, 38-foot wide “Mr. Boh” sign above the former National Brewery in Canton. Since then, said Kaye, LED technology has improved, and with it, energy efficiency.
“Neon tubing requires skilled craftspeople; LED does not,” said Kaye, comparing the demise to the fate of hot lead in printing. “Neon is dying.”
In its wake, the Gable company of Curtis Bay—which illuminated the old Montgomery Ward building on the edge of Carroll Park when it was reconstituted as Montgomery Park— was hired to build a 21st-century replica that will reduce energy costs and CO2 emissions.
“The new sign is aluminum rather than steel and will be more sustainable,” said Peter C. O’Malley, vice president of corporate relations with ASR. “It will last at least another 70 years.” Gable’s challenge in duplicating the sign “to the letter” included getting the right shade of yellow paint to back the letters and measuring the amount of space between the tubes. Each letter was scanned and studied to the minutest detail.
It was “very laborious,” said O’Malley, “to take out a broken tube and replicate its shape. Many of the replacement tubes didn’t really follow the lighting pattern intended by the original design.”
Baker said that people who gazed at test panels for the new sign could not tell the difference.
A quarter of a century ago, in one of countless stories written about the sign over the decades, a reporter asked Mickey Seither—then chief engineer of the Baltimore plant—what might become of it in the future.
Seither replied: "We have no intention of doing anything with this sign except keeping it lit.”
“We have no intention of doing anything with this sign except keeping it lit.” L et’s return, one last time, to the doubters; those who are certain that when the new sign debuts they’ll be able to navigate the tricks that memory plays. “The average person won’t be able to tell the difference because [orangishred] is easy for LED to duplicate,” said Kaye, noting that many neon signs of the past, including the 2 O’Clock Club and its kin on the Block, had no distinctive color at all, just white. “There are shades of blue and ruby red that you can only get by putting neon gas in a glass tube, but the Domino sign will look the same.” So, sugar babies, what does become of the broken hearted? The large 34-foot tall “D” will be
Mike Kestle’s Baltimore pedigree is forged in the working-class sweat long symbolized by
the Domino Sugar sign. The refinery is just about the lone industrial survivor along a waterfront where everything from laundry detergent to deep sea freighters and cinnamon left Baltimore for the world.
It was the incandescent soul of a city built not on pleasure, as the modern waterfront’s marinas might suggest, but the kind of labor performed by more than 500 employees at the Key Highway plant.
Kestle’s maternal great-grandparents—Fred and Frances McCoy—sold eggs and butter from a stall at Hollins Market in southwest Baltimore. Frances did side work as a chocolate dipper for Glauber’s Fine Candies, and his maternal grandfather, the late Joseph Leroy Montley, loaded trucks and rail cars at the Philadelphia Quartz company on Fort Avenue.
Kestle, 46, is a grocery man for Weis Markets and a supervisor of ushers at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. He honors his grandfather and the city he loves with a tattoo on his right arm.
He is one of many locals of a certain age and attitude with similar tattoos, everything from Black-eyed Susans to the Bromo Seltzer tower.
“I got the Domino tattoo about 10 years ago; it was my fourth one after the Ravens and the Orioles and Natty Boh,” said Kestle. “When I was a kid we’d always go down to my grandfather’s job for crab feasts and the Domino sign was always there. I associate it with my grandfather, who I consider my father. Once you saw the sign, you knew you were home.”
cut into small chunks and given to employees. The lowercase “a” in sugars was given to Anderson Industrial Contracting near Carroll Park. Anderson disassembled the old sign and is helping the Museum of Industry install “the dot.”
Remaining letters—M is for Mayor Schaefer, O is for Orioles, R is for Ravens, and S is for Sparrows Point— have been given to the Second Chance reclamation warehouse near Ravens Stadium on Russell Street.
S, of course, is for Susie and lest Millard cry herself to sleep, there is a final act of generosity from the ASR group.
The Domino “D” is being split into souvenir pieces, with some of it going to employees, and the rest on sale later this year in the Baltimore Museum of Industry gift shop. A great stocking stuffer for Millard and Frank G. Lidinsky, who has his own story of what the sign means to him, a long-ago memory tinted not sepia but orange.
“When I was a kid, maybe nine or 10 years old, my parents would take us and my grandmother to Betterton Beach [Kent County] on one of the Old Bay Line ships,” said Lidinsky. “I always knew when I was back in Baltimore when I saw the Domino sign.”

MARINA
Boat sales, like the sales of homes, cars and RVs, are at a record high despite the pandemic—or maybe because of it. The National Marine Manufacturers Association puts the increase over the past year at a whopping 12 percent, indicating that the boating business has grown at twice the rate of the overall booming U.S. economy.
All of this is good news for the boating world, and it’s great news for all of the newcomers to that world. Whether your new dreamboat is power or sail, now that you own it, you need to find a place to keep it. Choosing the ideal marina for your ideal boat takes careful consideration, but fortunately, the boom in boat sales hasn’t resulted in competition for boat slips. There are plenty of marinas to choose from, and here are some tips on how to find the best one for you.
Cost Location, Location, Depth Amenities
Slip fees vary considerably depending upon where the marina is located and the quality of the amenities and services available. Some industry experts will tell you to expect to pay between $20 and $25 per foot per month.
You want to keep your boat near where you like to use it, but not too far away from where you live. Think of how often you’ll be using your boat. If that’s going to be every weekend, you’ll want a fairly short commute. But first, you must find out if your boat will even fit into any of the slips. Compare the length, beam and depth of your boat to the dimensions of the available slips and particularly the depth of the channel leading into the marina. Check tide tables to make sure you can come and go even at extreme low tides.
Any good boatyard will have the basics—fuel, water, electricity, repair and maintenance services—but the trend is moving towards marinas with more resort-style features like swimming pools, a workout room, and a restaurant and bar. “There’s a higher expectation now amongst seasoned boaters, as well as new boaters, that their base of operation is going to be a place with good amenities that their family is going to enjoy: the creature comforts one might expect from a resort,” says Bruce Wagner, president of Coastal Properties, an Annapolis-based firm that manages seven marinas on the Chesapeake Bay.

Now for the Best Part
Most marinas offer transient dockage, so it’s easy to plan a cruise combining marina hopping with marina shopping. There are certain intangible qualities in marinas that don’t show up in a magazine ad or a website, things you won’t fi nd out unless you go there.
For instance, one long-time slipholder said that the best things about his marina, Haven Harbour in Rock Hall, “are the friendly and welcoming on-site staff and, importantly, the extremely knowledgeable and capable team of marine technicians and specialists.”
Until recently, the drill was to wait until you were within hailing distance for the VHF radio, hope someone was monitoring the right channel, and pray that they had an available slip for a boat your size.
Now you can download a free app on your smartphone like Dockwa or Snag-a-Slip, and book a slip online. Snag-a-Slip was launched in 2015 by Annapolis-based Oasis Marinas as a way to encourage boaters to visit the many marinas they manage between New York and Florida.
So go ahead and use your new boat to fi nd its new home. It’ll be a new adventure – which is just what you were looking for in the fi rst place.

SELLING YOUR MARINA
When selling your marina, there are several considerati ons that impact your property’s value. The most obvious of these is the physical conditi on of the improvements and your equipment. Buyers will look carefully for deferred maintenance and required replacements and calculate that into their off er. Keep in mind that a buyer’s projected cost for these repairs will always be higher than your actual costs. Any att empt to cover up deferred maintenance will be a red fl ag for them to look harder for additi onal items. Any valuati on completed for your property should take into considerati on both the physical improvements and also the income stream. Another considerati on is your property’s competi ti ve positi on in the immediate marketplace. Are the services you off er and your pricing competi ti ve with other local marinas? Do you understand your customer base? If you intenti onally have lower rental rates to stay full, that eff ort could be dramati cally reducing your total value. A close look at the balance between rates and occupancy could help you increase the bott om line and thus your total value.
The worst way to increase your property value is by cutti ng expenses. As a percentage of your gross income, expenses you can cut are minimal and an educated buyer will know what the actual expenses should be. The best way to increase your property value is to increase your revenue stream. Increasing your occupancy, increasing your rates, increasing your other sources of income, and fi nding new sources of income will all have a greater impact on your bott om line. A buyer will be looking at the current income stream, but also the potenti al to increase value, but there is also a cost associated with adding any physical improvements and revenue streams. Obtaining approvals or permits may add some additi onal value. How good is your staff and are they interested in staying? Your people have a signifi cant impact on the operati onal effi ciency and happiness factor of your customers. The quality of your staff , how well they are trained and cross trained, and do they contribute to your growth, are criti cal factors. A smart buyer will be judging your staff as carefully as your books. Verifying your income and expenses is criti cal. Owners oft en have side income streams that may not be verifi able, these will not help your total value. Now might be the ti me to clean up your books and make as much income verifi able as possible. As a rough comparison, every $100 of income can add $1,000 to the value. The ti me to think about maximizing your value is before you put your property on the market. Another item for serious considerati on is whether you are willing to provide some owner fi nancing. For smaller operati ons that are not on the radar for insti tuti onal or large investor buyers, some owner fi nancing can potenti ally enhance your bott om-line value. Finally, there are two primary ways to go about selling your marina. The fi rst is to maximize the exposure and reach the largest possible audience, to create as much interest as possible. The second alternati ve is to market your property confi denti ally to known marina buyers and select investors, to minimize the potenti al disrupti on to your ongoing business. A qualifi ed local broker will help you maximize the value of your asset and then fi nd you the best buyer.
Any attempt to cover up deferred maintenance will be a red fl ag to buyers to look harder for additional items.
