On this date in Bristol
1965
The city of Bristol announced that as part of a new highway project, which resulted in two pieces of land being purchased near Pine and Emmett streets, a brand spanking new street was planned from Lake Avenue to East Road. The purpose of the new street was to relieve traffic congestion in the Middle Street section resulting from increased industrial activity.
1975
Before 786 fans on a Friday night at Muzzy Field, the Bristol Red Sox split a doubleheader with the Waterbury Dodgers. In Game One, the BriSox won 2-1 in 10 innings with Ed Ford’s two-out home run.

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.
