Hello there, Bristol. It is Monday, and we made it. Hurray for us.

Weather

20s and 30s. A mix of clouds and sunshine.

Bristol movie history

The first “talkie” to play in a Bristol movie house was “Mother Knows Best” in 1929 at the Cameo Theatre on Main Street.

Umbrella factoid

Over 33 million umbrellas are sold each year in the United States.

From the Desk of Bristol Resident Don ‘The Hawk’ Hawkins

The Hawk is back with this gem:

What is the tallest building in the entire world? 

The library, because it has so many stories.

Editor’s note:

The Hawk wants everyone to know that he was not contributing because he has gingivitis. However, if he continues submitting material of this nature, he will be suspended regardless of his bought with gingivitis.

FYI

New Year’s, be advised that you are now on the clock.

See ya, Bristol!

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.
