When the Bristol Gas and Electric Company was purchased in 1910 the new owners donated this advertising sign. The “Mammoth Electric Sign”, measuring 60’ wide by 35’ high, was shipped by rail and dedicated on July 4 to a crowd of over 3,000 citizens. For its first five years it was perched on the top of The Interstate Hardware building until it was removed in 1915 to its present location over State Street. The original slogan read, “Push, That’s Bristol”, which was the mantra for the era’s industrial “push” that centered in Bristol. In 1921 the polish of the sign had diminished Bristol’s marketing icon when its lights would flicker “PU” That’s Bristol or “SH” that’s Bristol, and a citywide campaign chose its current slogan. In 1988 it was accepted to the National Register of Historical Places.
In 2010 this enormous structure, the Bristol Slogan Sign, marked its 100th year on the eastern end of downtown Bristol, itself straddling State Street. It has been a part of community pride and the one structure in the city that has identified Bristol’s common purpose and heritage. The message on this sign has been the marketing slogan for the city for close to 90 of those years, and considered one of the oldest community slogans in the United States. It reads, “Bristol Va – Tenn, A Good Place To Live”.

"Jerry was great! Very communicative and welcoming. The location of the house was convenient to town and the interstate, was very clean, new, and comfortable. Downstairs neighbor did play loud music every morning (after 9am but still extremely loud, sounded like it was right in the room with you). I loved the idea of having the games in the space but I think for the size of the space it was just too cramped. We had to move the golf putting green to the laundry area because it was blocking the...

Experience the Magic of Christmas Year-Round at The Mistletoe Manor

"It was a very cozy and warm feeling house and we loved the decorations! Very clean house and the outside and yard is very nice with some outdoor games and a fire pit! The only thing that was an issue was that the only bathroom was downstairs and had to walk up and down the steps to use the bathroom!! Other than that it is a very cozy and nice house and we would most likely stay again if we get a chance to!!"

"We had a wonderful stay! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. Check-in was smooth and communication with the host was quick and helpful. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were cozy. The location was perfect—close to downtown and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the hot tub.

Charming home for 8 Close to State St

"Was a nice stay overall the fenced back yard was perfect for our fur babies. Location to casino and shopping is great. The place is small for 5 adults we couldn't sit together for a meal. There is a table outside but it was too cold to use. The biggest thumbs down is the washing machine is located in the basement and it is creepy to go down there. It also only filled a quarter of the so we had to go to the laundry mat. We bought our own bedding cause it looked clean but it wasn't. We bought our...
