Here we are, Super Bowl Sunday +1. Stanley Cup Finals (June 18), be advised that you are now on the clock.

Weather

Sunny and 53, your table is ready.

100 years ago today in Bristol

A card party and dance were held at the Firemen’s Hall in Forestville.

Meanwhile, the Elks held a dance and masquerade party.

Abraham Lincoln

Speaking of Lincoln, Bristol’s Screwy Louie stopped by the TBE offices Sunday morning and found the GMB staff yucking it up and playing cards. Screwy said he was there to remind us that “If Lincoln were still alive, he would be 214 years old. That be pretty impressive regardless of your politics.”

Indeed, it would, Louie. Indeed, it would.

Coupons

In 1887, Coca-Cola distributes what is widely agreed to be the very first coupon. The coupon was for one free glass of Coke.

Enjoy Monday, Bristol. Our journey out of here begins now.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

  • Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
