I didn't realize that school closed in 2014. The first time I had heard of

the school was as a child in the '80s because the best player on the HS boys' basketball team, where my late father was principal at the time, was planning to attend there in the fall. It is a shame the owner didn't properly maintain it and find another use for it because it is a pretty structure.

Yikes, that and Sullins College were the elite women's colleges in Bristol.
TomTurkey • 12/20/24 08:59 AM ET
United bought Sullins, not VI.
