Top Motels in Galax City County in 2026

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

"The sheets and towels were clean and washed. Usually in inexpensive hotels they try to pass on sheets and towels to the next guest, which were used by the previous guest. In Rodeway Inn all sheets, pillows and towels were clean. There was some construction and renovation was going on for the betterment of the hotel. So parking was limited temporarily. Other than that it was an excellent experience for the price."
