4139 Bandini Blvd., the location of the Bandini Fertilizer Co. in 1938, via Google maps’ street view feature. I was unfamiliar with the terms "Bandini Mountain" and "Mt. Bandini" until now.

    Many years ago, Bandini Fertilizer had an ad on local TV, with a high-tech skier, complete with poles, perched on Mt. Bandini. The tag line was, “Are you man enough to ski Bandini Mountain?”

    I remember those ads well. The other tag was, “Man dares to go where only cows have gone before.” I still hope one day to take a field trip to Bandini Mountain and plant my flag on top.
