There's a new postcard out now showing the Mum City's past, present and possible future. Check Saturday's Press for my story about the Bristol 225th Anniversary Committee and their nifty postcard fundraiser.
I just hope putting Renaissance's "artist's rendering" of the new downtown into the postcard doesn't jinx that project!
