Description
It isn’t long before they see a sign giving the distance to Winslow. Clint has a CD player in the Vette and finds a copy of the Eagles song to play. He and Joey sing along to it several times murdering it quite terribly, but having a great time trying to outdo each other in the vocals macabre.
Before they know it, there is an exit sign for Winslow. Clint waves to Ridge to follow them and they drive on down into Winslow. They find the street with the famous poster and pull over and park to walk around awhile. Of course they have to investigate the spot made famous by the Eagles tune.
Words below taken from Wikipedia:
“Winslow was immortalized by the song "Take It Easy" written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey and performed by the Eagles. The song tells the tale of a disconsolate singer with woman troubles and includes the lines:
Well, I'm a standin' 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 scene described in the song was replicated as a trompe-l'oeil mural painted on the side of a building in Standin' on the Corner Park in Winslow. On October 18, 2004, a fire destroyed the building on which the mural was painted. The wall and the mural were preserved, but the park temporarily closed.
In November 2006, the city of Winslow purchased the property where the building had stood. The wall with the mural was secured and the rest of the building torn down.
As of August 2007, the corner of the park, with the statue and the mural, is accessible again. Plans are underway to expand the mural to cover the remaining wall, and to expand the park onto both sides of the wall.
The city also posted a billboard on I-40 with the words: "Winslow, Arizona says 'Take it easy'".”
Thank you for taking a peek! Your support is greatly appreciated!

The old Ford truck brings me back to the days when you used to see a lot of them. I remember some of them seemed to whistle, maybe because of those air vents in the front. Thanks for the reference to the Winslow and the Eagles song and for a cool image.
