Bristol is a suburban city located in Hartford County, Connecticut, United States, 20 miles (32 km) southwest-west of Hartford. The city is also 120 miles southwest from Boston, and approximately 100 miles northeast of New York City. As of the 2010 census, the population of the city was 60,477.[2]
Bristol is best known as the home of ESPN, whose central studios are in the city. Bristol is also home to Lake Compounce (1846), America's oldest continuously operating theme park. Bristol was known as a clock-making city in the 19th century, and is home to the American Clock & Watch Museum. For silver enthusiasts, Bristol is also known as the site of the former American Silver Company and its predecessor companies (1851-1935).[4][5]
Bristol's nickname is the "Mum City", because it was once a leader in chrysanthemum production and still holds an annual Bristol Mum Festival.[6]
In 2010, Bristol was ranked 84th on Money magazine's "Best Places to Live".[7] In 2013, Hartford Magazine ranked Bristol as Greater Hartford's top municipality in the "Best Bang for the Buck" category.

My hometown. Have been away for 35 years. Was nice to see all the places that I remember. Thanks for the tour.

[@newmexicocitizen5508]

My home town.. graduated from Bristol Central '91. Next time you should check out ESPN and Lake Compounce amusement park.. it's the oldest running amusement park in the country. Thanks for the memories 👍😎

[@newmexicocitizen5508]

Also.. Bristol has the best pizza in the country!

[@katiejosmith246]

Nice video. Brought back memories. Farmington Avenue has not changed much...saw Burger King...still there. Wish there was Still a downtown with a music store and shops with huge display widows and a bank and Woolworth and the train bridge that went over the street...that I remember when I was small. Went to the old South Side school for kindergarten. Room was very big and the large windows were open to let in a cool breeze when it was hot and humid. There were cubby holes to store our papers, crayons and hat/scarf. And, around the corner was an ice cream store...perhaps, it was Friendlys...and I would get a vanilla old-fashioned cone. And, down the street, was the A & P where my parents bought groceries. Of note, I attended BEHS...’74 graduated...learned a lot, but was shy...liked my teachers too. And so... I have some fine memories...and am grateful for having had the opportunity to live in this quaint town before going to college, traveling around and just living life. The Yankee values that were installed in me, served me well!

[@hitchinaride2215]

Katie, Thank you for watching. glad I could bring back some of those old memories and thank you for sharing with us. That kindergarten room reminds me of a lot of class rooms I was in when I was growing up. Thank you again. Have a great day

[@mht5875]

I remember Woolworth, Caldor, Bradlees, Lorraine Shoes on Main St, JonMarie on Riverside Ave, the mall where Sage Allen and Sears was.....I have seen photos of Main St dating to the 1930's when the road was lined with multi-storey buildings and all kinds of stores, Cameo movie house which was the largest in Bristol at the time, did some research recently on old movie houses in the city, one which apparently fell through the cracks was Empire Theatre (not listed at Cinema Tour nor Cinema Treasures) on North Main St which closed in 1919.

I see positive reviews on the comments below. I did my research. It appears the cost of living and the environment seems more cleaner and peaceful than Westfield Massachusetts. I had thoughts that I might move to Bristol one day as long as that place remains as it is.

[@4KCLIPSOF]

love seeing the road! Your video is so clear. What camera did you use? Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Phuket.

And, Harvest Bakery was the best!

[@westwoods4067]

Recall in the early 1970s when a guy who worked at Harvest Bakery was killed by his roommate.

[@nelsonmorrison-aldrich8924]

You didn't show the slums and housing projects..poor represented video.

[@westwoods4067]

But the Ranking he included on Bristol tells that "poverty Story" without GoPro7 showing it. "In 2010, Bristol was ranked 84th on Money magazine's "Best Places to Live"." LOL Left for good in 1974. 😊
