Barter Theatre, located in Abingdon, Virginia, opened on June 10, 1933, when the country was in the middle of the Great Depression. Most patrons were not able to pay the full ticket price. Robert Porterfield, founder of the theatre, offered admittance by letting the local people pay with food goods, hence the name "Barter". The original ticket price for a play was 40 cents, or the equivalent in goods. In 1946, Barter Theatre was designated the State Theatre of Virginia. Today, Barter is one of the last year-round professional resident repertory theatres remaining in the United States. -Wikipedia

Extended Stay America Suites - Bristol

10/10 Excellent

"Yes and yes"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Bristol

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spotless, staff was friendly, maintenance got a pack in place sent up to our room in great timing even though they said it was going to be a wait. They provided sheets for the pack and play upon request, towels were exquisite, curtains blocked all light, bed was comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. 10 out of 10 would recommend! Pillows were a little bit flat and breakfast service was slow even though there were only 3 tables . Still 5 stars. "
