Standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona

Next time you find yourself traveling through Arizona on I-40, consider making a stop in Winslow, between Flagstaff and the New Mexico border, where you can visit the Standin' on the Corner Park. This location memorializes the corner mentioned in the second verse of Jackson Browne's song, Take it Easy, made famous by the Eagles:

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

"The corner" is located at North Kinsley Avenue and West 2nd Street (which is also an eastbound section of Route 66) in downtown Winslow.

A surprisingly large number of people visit "the corner" year round, and it seems that musicians enjoy going to this site to play songs by the Eagles on their guitars. Because there are several restaurants nearby, you can also enjoy a lunch or dinner break.

I was able to park my 28-foot Class A in a nearby residential area and then just walked about 3 blocks to the location. For travelers in larger RVs, you could park at the local Wal-Mart and drive your tow vehicle into town.
