This was an amazingly professional and fun video to watch, i cant believe it only has around 2000 views...cmon people, thats a lot of work to put into this video! Than you Erik! I just subscribed

[@Erikthetravelguy]

Shoot! That is a very nice thing to say! Thanks!

[@annafields9868]

This was an amazing video and u gave the utmost respect to the city of Bristol. I work in Bristol TN and live in Blountville TN which r both a part of Sullivan County. The only mistake u made was the fact that u didn't come and eat at the best and most authentic locales owned establishment located in Bristol TN which is called The Angry 😠 Italian 🍕. The owner at one time had the 8th best pizza 🍕 in the world 🌎 according the National Pizza 🍕 Championship held in Italy 🇮🇹. I have been a server at The Angry Italian for the past 2 years and u will never find a better place to eat than there.

[@Erikthetravelguy]

Anna Fields thank you so much for the note! I love pizza and you are right, we didn’t have tome to visit every place but I’ll put it on the list for my next visit! Again, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and sharing your thoughts!

[@Buffalow]

[@Erikthetravelguy]

Just finished reading a Stephen Hunter thriller named "Night of Thunder" set around the NASCAR race in Bristol, TN. The author's description of the stadium and the excitement around the race made me want to visit Bristol some day and see it all for myself. This Bristol tour video has given me a glimpse of what I might expect to see. Thanks.

[@deborahgross1045]

The night race is awsome! If you ever get the chance you really need to attend . You wont regret it.
