God, I love Freepers like you who don’t mince words! Good one!
Well, you can’t really blame them for taking the sauce when it is offered to them. But it looks as if the Mayor was misrepresenting things rather than Bloomberg. Maybe technically correct, that it wasn’t quite for the purpose that Bloomberg indicated. But pork they took.
As I expected, he is a Democrat. Obama’s stooges wouldn’t give that kind of money to a Republican. His party is mentioned in an article about his hospitalization:
Evidently he’s a part of the state Democrat machine, since the governor was considering making him the state’s Veteran’s Affairs Administrator.
Rush is Right. Bristol is a Turnpike exit with ESPN.
If they had set up shop in Danbury instead the largest
business in town today would be a Dennys.
Maybe Bristol, CT will become the eastern Rio Linda?
The kids in Bristol are as sharp as a pistol...
Hey, my Dad’s family is from Bristol ...
Used to be a hard-working blue collar town with A LOT of industry [such as the New Departure Machine Works, a division of GM]. During WWII, New Departure made precision ball bearings for airplanes, tanks, trucks, and even Norden Bomb Sights ...
But, as with almost everything in the area, the industry dried up and now it is essentially a bedroom community for Hartford ...
What a shame ...
“Coincidentally, the very same mayor is currently in the hospital in critical condition, from what I’ve heard.”
Instant Karma’s gonna get you,
Gonna look you right in the face,
Better get yourself together darlin’,
Join the human race,
ESPN can’t get much further out of Bristol than it is right now. In fact it’s contiguous property includes the next town to the south, Southington. So it’s on the city/town line.
My only visits to Bristol are when I take my kids to Lake Compounce.
Lake Compounce is the oldest continuously running amusement park in the country. It is a clean park that caters to families with kids under 14. A nice place. ESPN is located near the entrance to the park.
So I have a pretty positive impression of Bristol. However, I’ve never been to the more urban part of the town.
Somebody’s Stomping in town !
Bristol, CT bump
Is that because there are a lot of veterans or because there aren't very many veterans?
