Take It Easy

"Well, I'm standin on a corner in Winslow, Arizona,it's such a fine sight to see."..now I can't get the song out of my mind! There really is a "Standin on the Corner" Park on old Route 66 in Winslow. It is the brainchild of locals who want to promote and support the revitalization of historic Winslow. You can buy a brick for the park sidewalk, inscribed as you desire, for $50-250. Profits to the revival effort! The wall behind the statue and corner park is a trompe l'oeil painting including an eagle (for the Eagles), a couple embracing and of course a girl in a flatbed ford. Around the corner is Krissy's Nifty 50 Ice Cream and Sandwich Shop where we enjoyed a hot dog and coke diner experience for lunch. (FYI the song is Take It Easy by the Eagles.)
