Standing on the corner
Standin’ on the Corner opened in 1999, commemorating the song “Take It Easy“ written and performed by the Eagles.
The song includes the line “Well, I’m a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona and such a fine sight to see. It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin’ down to take a look at me.”
At the corner in Winslow is a mural of John Pugh and a bronze statue by Ron Adamso, who is standing on the corner playing a guitar.
The Standing on corner Park brings people from all over the world, most of them Route 66 Travelers.
