On New Year’s Eve at the dawn of 1909, the city’s dignitaries gathered as usual on the first floor of Hose Company No. 1 on School Street around long tables where they gulped down hot coffee and feasted on steaming clams.They were from a generation that knew Civil War veterans, who were dying off at an alarming rate, but already familiar with automobiles puttering along city streets.

Bristol was a nice town, until we started electing losers.
Great story...what is the oldest building in Bristol ????
Bristol still is a nice town. The only losers are the ones who keeping complaining about it.
12:26 - how can winners be losers? unless you feel that losers such as yourself are really winners in which case most winners would readily agree that you are a loser - wow, didn't mean to make a winner such as you, feel as though you are a loser or did I mean that I didn't mean to make a loser, such as you, feel like a winner - I guess we will never know as long as a winner such as you keeps posting these loser comments, as you do.
Get a life 2:02 Bristol is a good city for people on wellfare thats it the rest of us dont count. Without good leadership and good police were screwed .
I've actually got a life 3:16 PM, born and raised right here in good old Bristol. Our police have always been there when I needed them and our leaders may not be perfect, but they work hard at keeping us moving forward. It's too bad that there are always those few whiny, small-minded malcontents (like yourself)who feel the need bitch and moan (anonymously of course)about absolutely everything...they are the real losers.
It's good if you are a City (or State) Employee on the taxpayers payroll. Is it still only a $5 copay when they go to the doctor or pharmacy?
A lot of people talking about the police dept protecting the crimanals and not the citizens in bristol. 911 calls going unanswered. Police showing up 45 min later whats up with that We have problems now. We wont make it 100 yrs. Bristol leadership has serious problems.
Bristol was better with a Republican mayor (Werner, Stortz).
7:03 (speaking of having your head stuffed up your ass), I am most definitely NOT Tim, but I AM a taxpayer and a lifelong resident of Bristol. Does that mean you'll respect MY opinion???....ya, thought not.
Those of us who actually like Bristol and choose to live here are getting pretty tired of listening to your constant mosquito in the ear type whining about our hometown. Last time I looked, there wasn't a wall around it...you're free to leave anytime.
Bristol WAS A GREAT PLACE YEARS AGO . Then came leaders with little or no education like nicastro or couture to screw us up.Today we pay for it.
