Having a nice trip. Should like to hear from you.

Vernon Street
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Canada
The Hotel Fort Gatlin was a place where guests could enjoy the famous "golden fried chicken" dinner as well as a comfortable stay in the mid-century City Beautiful. Our writer must have been so full that he/she forgot to write to Mrs. Bremner until arriving in St. Petersburg, which before I-4 was a half day trip. The building along Orange Avenue was bought and demolished in 1965 by the Orlando Sentinel who was expanding their operations.
Doris Bremner was probably born in 1910, and may have been related to the family owned Bremner's Plumbing and Heating of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The town of about 400,000 was amalgamated into a regional government in 1995.
