Arizona Road Trip - Part Two - Winslow

I'm sure any Eagles fans out there are familiar with their song "Take It Easy".  The second verse which starts "Standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona...." is the claim to fame of the town of Winslow.  They have a "Standing on the corner committee" which has made a tourist stop centered around the song, complete with a statue of lead singer Don Henley standing on the famed corner.  It's a fun place to visit. 

Winslow also is on the famous Route 66 - the first east-west two-land highway that spanned the US and was such a popular road back in the 1920s to 1950s.  Now it only exists in patches, having been replaced by the much larger interstate highway system.

"The Corner"

In the window of the building is the flat-bed Ford mentioned in the song.  I'll have to go back some day and get some better pictures.  It was a fun stop on our road trip, and Lloyd has the t-shirt to prove it.

Stay tuned....
