Fact text
- ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports, has called Bristol home since 1979, so yes, your neighbor might work in a place that broadcasts the Super Bowl.
- Lake Compounce in Bristol is the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the entire United States, open since 1846.
- Bristol was once the clock-making capital of America, and a pioneer named Gideon Roberts literally peddled Bristol clocks on horseback through multiple states.
- Bristol's nickname is 'Mum City', not because everyone's silent, but because it was once a chrysanthemum-growing powerhouse and still throws an annual Mum Festival.
