standin' on the corner park

I liked it...clever....sure it is fluff.... But it is my generation's iconic history. Kids flying by on bikes smoking pot .....almost made me high...but felt safe to walk there from LA Postada 9 pm

A standing on the corner sign, a hologram of the girl in the flat bed Ford, a real flat bed Ford parked on the street--what more could you want? Have breakfast at Dar's Diner across the street--looks like a relic from the Route 66 days--and watch the other tourists taking pictures of themselves standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona, and such a fine sight to see...

This is just a tiny park in a poor section of town. It offers nothing. I love the song, but I like it somewhat less after viewing this dismal park,

We were staying overnight in Winslow on our way to Vegas so we decided to take advantage of this iconic location made famous by the Eagles song (Standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona oh what a sight to see...a girl my lord in a flat bed ford slowing down to check out me)..they have a full size statue of an artist with a guitar with a backdrop of the girl in the ford and Winslow on the wall. Highway 66 logo is on the street. I would not go far out of my way to see this but if you are here, worth the picture opportunity

We were able to walk here while staying at La Posada. It's nothing more than a brick facade painted as a storefront, a statue at the street sign and a flatbed truck. Wonderful photo op, but nothing more than that.

That song went through my head for days. Wouldn't want to miss the stop. No great urge to do it again. I stopped there late. Town closes up pretty early. So mostly a drive thru.

You are on Historic Route 66, standing on the Corner where there you see the statue iconic of the Eagles hit song. In the background is the Flatbed Ford,murals and look up to see a couple framed by the window. Eagles music playing the whole time. If you have time while driving on I-40, stop by for a quick nostalgic Route 66 minute. A couple of quick photos and you are back on your way. If you like Eagles music, it is worth a few minutes to stop here.

Popped in town when heading back from the Petrified Forest. Cute set up with lots of detail. Late in the day so most stores were closed at the brightly painted intersection. Grew up with the song and just HAD to pull off the Interstate when we were so close. Laughed and took plenty of photos. The town itself looks like it has seen better days and I don't plan to ever return. We had a great time for about 15 minutes because we were already there - would not recommend going majorly out of your way for it.

Some people might call it a tourist trap. I say it is what it is and it is very good at it. Route 66, Eagles music, flatbed truck, statue, great murals all come together and make a very nice place to stop and TAKE IT EASY!

A small park in downtown Winslow. Created to respond to the demand from tourists who identified with the song. A simply, life size statue of a guitar playing singer and a mural of the 'girl in a flatbed Ford'. A place for visitors to take a picture.

Brilliant staging for your favorite photo op! They even have the Eagles music playing in the background and a great red pickup truck parked near the corner, as though it's approaching. The mural is brilliant and if you walk to the side of the brick wall, you see that the whole thing is a construction - like a stage set. So fabulous!

Judging by some of the negative reviews seems a lot of people expect a Taj Mahal and Glen Frey to run up with a cup of coffee and a doughnut for them I guess, I was very pleased, this is my second visit. The friendly ladies in the memorabilia shop could not be nicer, what sweeties. A good selection of souvenirs and area artwork. The brickwork and statue are in excellent condition, the area is clean. They even have the authentic flatbed Ford there now. This is certainly the heartbeat of Winslow, I am not sure there would still be a Winslow without it. And it is free.

It was cool, but telling when a street corner with a fake backdrop is the top tourist attraction. I don't like the 50 word limit as there is nothing more to say.

We stopped to see the statue and salute to the Eagles' song, The statue was really good, the little town of Winslow was interesting. There were people from all over the world there taking pictures with the statue. Beautiful area and many things to see along the way. This is part of the old Route 66.

Other than the iconic song not much other than taking some "standing on the corner" pic's to talk about in Winslow.
