tL's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1312 - Take It Easy - the (NorthWest) Corner of Winslow Arizona. Take 1.“Take It Easy” is one of the “Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock & Roll’, released by the ‘Eagles’ in 1972.
The second verse of "Take It Easy" is set in the city of Winslow, Arizona, which responded by erecting a life-size bronze statue & mural commemorating the song, at the Standin' On The Corner Park at the intersection of Route 66 & Kinsley Avenue.
The trompe-l'œil mural on the wall behind the statue is that of a fake storefront, and includes the reflection of a red Ford pickup truck driven by a blonde-haired woman. The second floor of the mural features an eagle perched in one of the windows.
The famous lyrics include the verse ... “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."
... tomorrow the South West corner of “Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona”
