Bristol Virginia-Tennessee Slogan Sign
The Bristol Virginia-Tennessee Slogan Sign is a landmark in the twin cities of Bristol, Virginia and Bristol, Tennessee, USA. The sign is positioned over State Street, a roadway along the border separating the two states. Although the landmark is technically located in both Tennessee and Virginia, the National Register considers the location as Tennessee.
==History==
In 1901, the center of Main Street was officially designated as the state line separating Tennessee and Virginia by the United States Congress. The street has since been renamed as State Street.
According to the Bristol Historical Association's booklet ''The Historical Bristol Sign'', the Bristol Gas and Electric Company donated and erected the sign atop a hardware store in 1910 to advertise the city. The sign originally contained the lighted slogan ''PUSH! - THAT'S BRISTOL'' referring to the hopes of continued growth and future prosperity for the two cities. In 1915, the sign was moved to its current location. In 1921, a contest was held in order to select a new slogan. The winning slogan, ''A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE'', has remained the slogan ever since.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Bristol Virginia-Tennessee Slogan Sign ) and (''Accompanying photo'' )〕
