1203. Stand on the Corner in Winslow, AZ

I am not an Eagles fan. I am also not a big music listener in general. However, that didn't mean I didn't want to stand on the corner in Winslow, Arizona. When the hubby said he didn't want to see the crater because it cost too much, I said I wanted to stop in Winslow to stand on the corner. He just rolled his eyes.



I'm pretty "Takin' It Easy" put Winslow on the map and they have profited from it. On the corner is a sign, a red pick up truck, and a mural all with nods to Takin' It Easy. There's also a park bunch across the street where you can sit and relax. A guy was singing along with Takin' It Easy that was playing from somewhere.





It's about 10 minutes off the highway. Sipp Shoppe, an old school soda fountain with a modern breakfast menu, is on the corner across the street to take care of you thirst needs. We both had a phosphate soda. There's also malts, cream sodas, and ice cream sodas along with crepes and breakfast sandwiches.



It was once a bank so you can still see the old vault.




Even if you are not a Eagles Fan (or even a music listener), this is one of those things you just gotta do. The hubby even got into it and wanted his picture taken standing on the corner.
