Standin’ On the Corner, in Winslow, Arizona, originally uploaded by glennia.
We visited Winslow, Arizona, where the pastime is standin’ on the corner. Just like in the Eagles song, “Take it Easy”:
Standin’ on the Corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me.
The town commemorated the song with a statue, a mural, a park, and a gift shop.
