This picture was taken on Main Street in Galax, Va. These are fiddles that spell "Love" in four glass shadow boxes beside a music store called Barr's Fiddle Shop which has been in Galax for 40 years. Fiddles are one of the main instruments that mountain music is based on. When this music first started it was called hillbilly music which then later was called blue grass. When I saw this driving down Main Street, I knew that I wanted to take a picture of it because of the musical aspect and the history behind it. Because I have had a lot of experience of the Appalachian mountains, bluegrass is something that "characterizes a mountaineer", especially the older generation. This picture represents the love that mountain people have for this musical entertainment. This is shown through the annual Old Fiddlers Convention which occurs an entire week in August for the past 82 years. This event gathers thousands of people from all over the world who all share the love of Bluegrass. #appalachianechoes

Comfort Inn Wytheville - Fort Chiswell

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed on way to our destination and then booked again for return. Very easy to get to right off highway. The room was clean and breakfast was good. Breakfast was eggs, sausage, waffles, yogurt, cereals, bagels. Good variety. We had a pet with us. Hotel is pet friendly. The only thing I would recommend is better lighting in the dog potty area. At night, it was a little uncomfortable. VERY dark and dog didn't want to go there. Ended up using a little patch of grass at gas station next door. Check in and out very smooth. Desk staff very friendly! Would absolutely stay here again."
