Review:
One of the only cities in America that is split between two states, Bristol can be found straddling the Virginia-Tennessee border in southwest Virginia.
The state line is marked by State Street, which runs right through the heart of downtown, but there are lots of wonderful shops, restaurants, and art galleries to enjoy no matter which side of the border you find yourself on.
The town is also widely considered to be where country music got its start, and visitors can learn about the history of the genre at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum.
