Hello everyone and everybody else!
Tuesday is on the clock. What does it have planned for the Mum City? Hmm.
Well, until we know, it will be 75 and mostly sunny today.
Sunrise 6:36 a.m., sunset 6:52 p.m.
At the movies
Last weekend, The Woman King was the winner at the box office taking in $19,000,000.
On this date
At the Battle of the Sexes tennis match in 1973, Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
Parking lot watch
A little birdie says that the parking lot on Mix Street near Barnes Fields needs one more coat. Soon, people will once again be able to park to watch ball a game, eat lunch or engage in hanky-panky after hours.
Meanwhile, the American Clock and Watch Museum on Maple Street was recently paved too. However, the same little birdy had no Intel regarding its grand opening.
Bristol Trivia Answer

Oh my, look at the time, we have to go. See ya Thursday, Bristol. Woot!
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 eight (8) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access eight (8) 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.
