The clock really did stop in Bristol
I know many people think the clock stopped in Bristol half a century ago, but it hasn't been that long.
On the side of City Hall is a peculiar-looking clock that's been stuck at 6 for weeks or maybe months. It's only right twice a day, which probably makes it one of the more accurate functions of city government.
But officials have noticed that it's not moving.
"The clock on the wall no longer works," Assistant Public Works Director George Wallace told the Building Committee last week.
Officials have plans to spend about $4,500 to replace the clock's innards one of these days.
Given that Bristol is known in the rest of the world for clocks and ESPN, it's probably not such a good idea to have a dead clock on the outside wall of City Hall.
It doesn't send quite the message that our leaders want.
