During the month of January

residents of Baltimore, and especially those who traveled I-95 or drove through

the Inner Harbor area, became aware that on January 30 the NFB Research and

Training Institute was going to open with a gala celebration. First we covered

our forty-foot-long lighted rooftop sign with a banner announcing the grand

opening. All those who drive along I-95 can easily read our sign as they drive

by. Next we rented two billboards for the month of January, one at the I-395

exit from Baltimore City and the other on I-95 South, to remind passersby of

the opening. Then, during the final ten days or so of the month, we posted banners

with the same message over two streets leading into the Harbor area.

From

January 20 through the first week in February, Baltimore City street

banners

on both sides of the Inner Harbor announced the NFBRTI grand opening.
